Did a bonehead mistake
 

I hope this is not a bad one. I had to take out the small pin/screw that is in the flywheel that triggers the sensor for the crank position. It's the one on the outer edge of the flywheel. It sticks up about 1/4". I went to screw it back in and it snapped. I could not get the threaded part out so I stuck the head back in with some JB weld. I mounded it up on all sides. What do you think will it hold and will it trigger? I'm not to sure on how to test it.

Thanks
Rick

It might hold. It's up to you to decide if it's worth the risk. How good are you at removing the engine? A set of reverse drills would help get the broken part out or make room for an easyout.

I'm not to worried about it holding. If it does let go I can drop the engine (took about three hour last time). I am more worried that I placed the JB weld all around and almost to the top of the pin, will it still trigger the sensor?

7000 rpms. I can't see it holding, but that's just a guess.

If it were me, I'd try it, but then it would back out and ruin the sensor and I'd be replacing two things, not one. :p

fix it properly now.

Fix it right, get the pin out and install a new one or get a used flywheel.
I have one.
It may hold for awhile but what a drag if it lets go on your way to the prom.:)

I will start looking for a used flywheel. Thanks for all the input.
