Claim 0:
1. A pulser plate comprising:
a plurality of teeth arranged on a periphery peripheral radial edge of the pulser plate, wherein teeth of the plurality of teeth are readable by a crankshaft sensor to define a sensed behavior of the pulser plate, and wherein each of the teeth includes a proximal base disposed on the peripheral radial edge and a distal end radially spaced apart from the peripheral radial edge;
an indexing gap separating a first tooth and a second tooth of the plurality of the teeth in a circumferential direction of the pulser plate, wherein the indexing gap extends across a first axis on a face of the pulser plate, wherein a second axis orthogonal to the first axis on the pulser plate defines a proximate side of the pulser plate having the indexing gap and a distal side of the pulser plate, wherein the first axis and the second axis are orthogonal to a pulser plate axis and intersect at a center; and
a mass modifier includes a first mass modifier on the proximate side of the pulser plate to balance the mass of the pulser plate about the center, wherein the mass modifier does not change the sensed behavior of the pulser plate, wherein the mass modifier is added to at least one tooth of the plurality of teeth and is spaced apart radially from the peripheral radial edge.
