Had an issue with crankshaft position sensor wiring, as the solder/wire broke away from one of the sensors and had to tow the sled out. Hillbilly soldered it at the trailer to make it through the next day, but want to repair properly now.
Any idea on what type of epoxy is used on these pick ups to help with vibration? Thinking to use a 2 part epoxy or PL Premium.

2 part epoxy is best, it is what OE used, brand doesn't really matter, its all the same. What you want is LONG set time. The quicker it sets the more brittle it is, so long set is most durable and resistant.

Maybe try something like "The right stuff" as it may last longer not hardening, but more of a silicone base. Its pretty durable stuff.

If you have an electrician friend ask him to get you and SC4 kit. These are used to seal elecrtical teck connectors.(explosion proof connectors). it doesn't get brittle when it sets.

Just grab a two part quick set epoxy - we find the permatex is one of the better choices ....
