In the sensor itself? Uhh, I dunno, not much...everything squares up pretty tight.

With the flywheel aligned, the section of the tone ring, that lacks two teeth is about dead smack in the center of the hole for the starter...I'll get you a close-up of that as well.

I never really paid any attention to the LH2.4 flexplate I had on my shelf for the past year, but apparently, about 90-degrees from that blank spot in the tone ring, there's a dowel pin, simply used for a mechanic's reference of TDC....why the missing 2-teeth isn't at TDC instead, is beyond me....but this is all "just what I heard"

I'm at work now!!! So pics this evening.

Maybe you could keep the 1mm thang on all your flywheelzzz, n have a stronger piece for the ring gear, as intended, and make it mandetory that everyone grind their blocks....End result is a stronger piece for the ring gear and a lighter weight engine block...FULL OF WIN!!!

So after looking at my old pressure plate and reading my Bently and Haynes manuals that you do in fact need the missing teeth in the vicinity of the starter hole.
Myles, you are right.
From reading the procedure in my manual, none of them reference the starter. They reference the arrow on the back of the pressure plate and/or two dowel pins. I used the arrow approach, and this did not work. The dowl pins did. I'm not too sure why the manual states the arrow needs to point horizontally right, but for it to work out it needs to point vertically up.

If Volvo internally is anything like Saab---and there's no reason to believe it wasn't, they put their most junior, fresh out of Chalmers Institute, "injur-nears" on the job of manuals..
Horrible translations, sometimes gross errors in the inch dimensions.
