You would be surprised at how worn those internal bushings can be.Judging by the gear wear pattern and the condition of the sensor body I doubt it's warn out. It just got damaged during removal. Once a washer is acquired, it's a 5 minute fix.
Right on Rob.
I want you to change your combo to CPT- 66 Turbo, Hee - Hee
The gear has a good wear pattern [even without the wavy washer] and if there is no side to side play as well as no spots that bind when you spin it I would just replace the washers as recommended by others.
It looks like a low mileage example and if I'm wrong you must change the oil more often than recommended for it to look so good and have minimal wear showing.
Here is my original 92,000 cam sensor- As you can see how good it looks when pulled straight out of the engine.Judging by the gear wear pattern and the condition of the sensor body I doubt it's warn out. It just got damaged during removal. Once a washer is acquired, it's a 5 minute fix.
This is the first time it has ever been apart. I am the original owner. The only reason I'm changing the timing set is for preventative maintenance.

I have only used Mobil 1 since the day It came home from the dealer in '87. I change the oil and filter twice per year. I can't believe how clean the internals are in this motor. 74k miles
