When looking directly at the front of the block, there is a hole just outside of the cam gear, about the 1 o-clock position.

Where does that go to? Do you know what it might be for?

If you have taken out all the plugs on the block could you let me know what size the square plug is on the inspection hole where you can tell if you have PMRs or Forged rods

Matt,

Could you take some pics of how it mounts up to the stand? Getting ready to pull mine in the next couple of months and just any general pics would be greatly appreciated. Would like to see how it should look so that I can be more prepared.

the ford shop manual says it is a anti-drianback check ball and spring. it looks like it is goes down to lpop right under it

here is a close up of the gear that the cps works off of.

Taken from my Ford manual:
The PCM receives engine rotational position information from the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor. The CMP is a hall-effect device. It outputs 12 volts to the PCM whenever it detects the iron of a spoked target wheel in front of it, and it outputs 0 volts whenever it detects the space between the spokes. The target wheel spokes and spaces are each 15 crank degrees, except for narrow spoke which indicates cylinder No. 1 and a wide spoke which indicates cylinder No. 4 (fires 5th). The NGS PID RPM is generated by the PCM from the CMP signal.
