This is NOT about the crankshaft position sensor that originates at the bell housing

The other day, copper shavings were being produced underneath the part that sits TDC on the engine..... now the engine is idling rough.

I just replaced my fan bearing bracket....as it was going.... i think the bad bracket...might have had an effect on this part.

What specifically does the camshaft position sensor do... or is it called the crankshaft position sensor for the front of the engine?
