what do you think the chances are that this needs replacing

if it is that, might be a big job.

yeah, this snapped while transporting the engine we think.

cut exhaust off, sump and oil pump off, but the sender or somethings in there so the crank might have to come out

to change that it only reads off a notch in the crank pulley so crank wil be fine..

only thing i can see from that is the bracket is part of the block..... which is ummm bad.

UIf it snapped off while in transport why the fuck was it riveted back on and not replaced while the engine wasn't in the car

with bodgery like that you're wondering why its not running? I hope thats the only 'bodge' on there!

Would have been if it was changed when the engine was out as it should have.
