Biketopia is seeing the flat connector beside the oil pressure sensor. On the gen-3 engines, this is the cam sensor. On gen-4 engines, the AFM solenoid connector is in the same location, and looks very similar. The confusion is understandable.

The best way to identify the gen-3/gen-4 difference when looking at that part of the engine -- the gen-3 oil sensor screws into the block, while the gen-4 oil sensor screws into the valley pan cover.

The gen-4 engines moved the cam sensor to the timing cover.
