Sounds like airleak in the crankcase. Pressure test the crankcase and spray soap/water solution and check for bubbles. Perhaps you smoked the front crank seal when you heated prop hub. Or, possibly leaking between case halves.

Note: Dont go over 8-9 psi when applying pressure to the crankcase.

Ok, so I got the sensor in yesterday while I was at work. So I'm working on putting it all back together and see what it does now. I'll keep you all updated
