What would be the big difference than using the CAS? and what is the reason that you want to lose the CAS? Since the CAS has 360 points of recognition, and turns half as fast as the crankshaft, I suggest it has an acuracy of 2 degrees. That would be compairable to a 180 teeth crank mounted wheel.
You're using an 36 teeth wheel directly on the crank, so I would think it has an acuracy of 10 degrees, Would a timing belt strech so much? Wouldn't an uprated timing belt be acurate enough?
And what the torsion of the camshaft does to the timing.. I don't know exactly but it seems to me that the position sensor reads a certain position, and cause of the resistance valvetrain the camshafts are torsioned, and so the actual lift is altered in compairison to the crankshaft position.
But does relocating the position sensor to the crank solve this problem?
the camshaft is still torsioned. And when you read a certain position off the crankshaft the valvetrain is still altered due to torsion.
Or am I missing a part?
I know that sometimes the splines of the cas sensor ware out, and cause timing problems, but I like the idea of 360 slits and an optical sensor.
I'm not trying to prove you wrong! but I'm interested in the pro's and con's of the CAS
Keep up the good work tho
