Thanks Fixkick,
Yes, the j23 is out of a Suzuki Aerio '04-07, and the CKP sensors are the same hall effect unit. The long block is a direct bolt-up install, the CKP sensor installation is in the identical location and geometry, and I used the flexplate off the stock J18. My flexplate, and another I have seen off a junkyard Sport, are different than the one you picture above. See my pic attached.
I used the J18 ECU, COPs, oil pan, oil pump pickup tube, and intake manifold (with the J23 rail and injectors/injector harness). My badly designed J18 cast exhaust manifold was cracked in three places and leaking, so i found that a '99+ Vitara 2.0 welded pipe exhaust manifold and heat shield worked great, looks stock.
I'm not sure I understand your reference to the slots having a relationship to the CKP, as the metal "can" that covers the sensor coil is inserted through the block and seems to read the teeth on the tone ring on the crankshaft itself. The tone ring teeth have an angle cut on the rear edge to match the angle of the sensor "can" that sticks downward through the block per your picture. I stick-measured the mounting hole depth to the toothed ring, and the sensor can must have a clearance of less than 1/16".
The J18 crank tone ring has 36 evenly spaced teeth with no breaks, and although I did not count the J23 teeth, they seem the same size, beveled shape, and spacing. I am aware of at least two other successful J23/J18 Sport swaps that do not have the P0335 issue.....
If I have to drop the transmission to get to that STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS PC255 {#3222077E00, 3322077E00, 91174660}, the neighbors will probably call the cops.
I'm going to need to look at those circuits with a two channel scope to see what's happening.
Thanks for your great website, so glad I found it. It is chock full of useful information and I really enjoy your sense of humor in your writing.
