Replace crankshaft position sensor | Album

This is part 2 of a 4-part service job. This all stems from codes being thrown by the computer that have piled up over the months.
I have already replacing the DME fan. I am now replacing the crankshaft positions sensor, then the water pump/thermostat, then an oil change. This is why there are so many parts on the order sheet.

The only notable thing about this job is that I wish I did it when I replaced the starter a while back. I see now that it makes total sense to replace this as a preventative measure every time you replace a starter. They are in the same area of the block, and all of the same stuff needs to be removed for access. More importantly, if the starter has died, it's likely been 100k miles or so, and the crankshaft position sensor is likely on the way out as well.

Oh, and while I had the intake manifold out this time I gave it a good internal cleaning.

Parts:
$106.30 | OEM crankshaft position sensor | 13627525015
$5.12 | OEM crankshaft position sensor o-ring | 12141748398
$4.46 | OEM crankshaft position sensor torx bolt | 13627530413
