2.8/3.1 Crank Sensor - Mur1234 - 05-26-2026
Hey everyone,
I've heard some horror stories of the 2.8/3.1 crank sensor breaking off in the block. I may have to replace mine, is there anything I could coat the sensor with to prevent that from happening? I'd think oil or grease would bake the plastic sensor housing. Maybe anti seize? Maybe on a yearly basis just pull it out so it doesn't settle over many years and heat cycles?

I personally have never had issues with them breaking off. However, when I've installed new sensors, I've coated the o-ring area with high temperature brake lube. Specially, "Sil Glyde" from Napa.
