I put a paint mark on the chain where the r/L mark is, use the wedge tool, I take the second cam cap off, put a small piece of computer paper under the cap, tighten the cap down just snug nothing crazy don’t distort the cam cap from cranking it down tight it doesn’t take much and this will make the cam not move while u swap the phaser then remove the cap take paper out, torque cam cap then phaser bolt. Ford master tech told me about this 15 years ago I’ve been doing them like this ever since.

Can I change the camshaft using this method?

I wanted to thank you for this video. This helped me diagnose my truck and then was critical in the repair. I followed everything exactly, and the outcome was perfect! A few notes for anyone else attempting this: Make the marks on the cam phasers and the cam lobes, as indicated in the video. My cams rolled just a little bit when I took the phasers off, so the marks were crucial. On the cam phasers, the "R" imprint is very close to where the pin is located on the back side that has to line up with the notch in the came shaft, and if your "cheese" is in properly, there is no play in the chain. Moving the cam shaft slightly to align was necessary due to the roll of the cam in my instance. The hardest part of the entire job is the rear valve cover bolts. Either I need to be taller, or I need a low-rider! Due to the rubber grommets on the valve cover bolts, make sure they are all aligned and seated in the holes prior to tightening anything down. Visual inspection through the wheel well is imperative. GREAT VIDEO and PERFECT INSTRUCTION! THANK YOU!!

This video is exactly what I needed to fix my 2012 Navigator. Your're a life saver! Keep up the great work bro!

Used this same process just yesterday on my 4.6 V8 Mustang. I didn't quite have the lobes at 11 and 8, after taking the phaser off the cam rotated a half inch or so. I figured no big deal, I'll hand rotate the engine to align the phaser to the cam and install it. While rotating the engine the chain sucked the wedge further towards the crank! Haha, I wrapped my tools up for the day and went inside. Next day I was able to keep rotating the engine and aligned, torqued and finish installing the phaser then went on to fishing the wedge out. My car runs smooth again and I have you to thank for guiding me through this seemingly daunting process! Thank you so much

Your videos have helped me out with multiple personal vehicles now, thanks a lot man. Keep up the good work!

Had the plugs changed before the class action law suit expired and have been watching your videos for tips on things i can do to get a longer life out of it. I recently changed to 5W30 full synthetic over the 5W20. I can not get over the difference in how everything smoothed out and quieted down at idle and higher speeds. It was so noticeable that my wife even commented on it. I hope i did it soon enough to avoid any major repair bills. Thanks for your channel.

Great series, I'm very impressed with the clarity and detail!

My cheese rod would not fit through the cavity in the procedure that you suggested. Just an FYI. My cam did move. I was able to move it back and the phaser slid rite on. I'm glad I market it!

Yea looking at his video. I'm pretty positive the positioning he is using to get the wedge tool in is physically impossible to do with the front cover on. He points the wedge at one point where it would be coming directly out the side of the front cover. I don't think the tool has the amount of bend to make that happen. In the Ford service manual the picture they show as reference shows it going in through the front. So that would be the proper way of doing this.

Hi, thanks for your great quality videos, you are very well spoken. I attempted a drivers side cam phaser replacement on a 2005 F-150 that we recently did a timing chain and tensioner kit on. One of the tensioners had the infamous blown seal and the engine was noisy. We caught it before the guides broke luckily. It was still somewhat noisy after the timing job, so I replaced the VCT solenoids with Ford parts. Still no better, so I attempted the drivers side cam phaser. Marking the cam cap and intake lobe paid off big time. I went one step further and clamped a small pair of vice grips on the cast part of the cam shaft and locked it against the inner side of the cylinder head just to be sure. I made my own "cheese block" from a piece of MDF trim and a coat hanger. I drilled a hole down through the cheese block and put a 1/4 inch bolt through it with a lock washer and a nut on it to be sure I would be able to tug on it enough to get it back out. The coat hanger was twisted around the bolt, so it was very solid and not going to fall off. It worked fine. I would have ordered the OTC tool, but there were none available. When I removed the phaser, I found out you really mean "11 o'clock" I wasn't quite there and my cam moved clockwise about 5 degrees when the phaser came off the cam. Luckily with the vice grips still attached to the cam, I was able to use one hand to rotate the cam back to where it was, but this only allowed one hand to try to get the phaser back on square. This is where I learned how easy it is to get it on crooked. It was tight as my timing set is new, but I managed to get it back on okay. I used a torque angle gage to do the final 90 degrees....it worked better than the paint marker trick. They are cheap. This is an excellent video. Total project time for the drivers side was about 3.25 hours, except that while standing on the front crossmember to get the valve cover bolts out (why Ford must you have like 15 bolts, when an LS engine has 4) I managed to break an already somewhat rotted tranny cooler line...lol. When I started it up, it ran great, but spewed tranny fluid all over my floor. I managed to patch it with fuel line hose and clamps until Thursday when the lines are getting replaced. Thanks a bunch!

@@damiananey997 Honestly it was tight for sure. I could have used a third hand, but it was late an nobody was around to help. I used one hand on the vice grip (not clamped on a lobe of course to prevent scratching) and moved the cam back into position where it was (I had paint marked the cam in reference to one of the cam towers) it had moved about 2 degrees due to spring tension. I held the phaser in the other hand with the chain on it (chain link marked in reference to the phaser). I used my left hand to pull up and moved the cam slightly back and fourth with the vice grips until I felt the dowel pin on the phaser slip into the cam. I then carefully tightened the bolt. Be sure to take measurements from the front cam tower to the back of the phaser as per FTM videos to ensure you have the phaser fully seated on the cam and SQUARE to the cam. It must run true on there otherwise major engine damage will occur. My suggestion is to get a helper....this would likely be much easier.

Great video, taking mine apart at the moment for a lifter replacement. One thing you don't see anywhere discussed online is how to distinguish between lifter and phaser noise. My tapping noise for example can be heard at all rpms and engine temps. When I hold the stethoscope to the valve cover, I don't hear any tapping coming from the phaser area. The noise seems to be coming from the rear or bottom of the engine. So I'm taking a shoot in the dark and am replacing the followers and lifters on the driver side. Any reliable way to tell the difference between lifter and phaser noise?

@danielh2180

Just an update to everyone following: Mine turned out to be a bad lifter which caused the cam follower to fail. I removed the cam and replaced all lifters and followers. What led me to believe its the lifter/follower rather than the cam phaser: The official TSB on this issue. The TSB describes the different noises and states that if the noise is there always, at all temps and rpms, it is most likely a bad lifter.

20 + year ford tech here,, great video i never have a cam to jump because i cut a piece of plastic from a oil or antifreeze jug, remove the 2nd cam cap or further back and sanwich the plastic between cam and cap bearing and snug tight (no air tools as the cam cap will break) holds that cam perfectly. as stated in video make darn sure the dowell pin in phaser is there in place. don't eat the cheese. my personal truck 5.4 3 valve heads i sent off for a line bore and insert bearings like rod and main bearings, more important melling high volume oil pump more agressive cams, phaser lockouts reprogram to delete varible cam timing, headers + dyno tuning. results a tire roasting sob that still doesn't make the power of the coyote 5.0 stock. all this vct crap is supposed to help power and fuel economy. the 2004 and up f series is a heavier vehicle with a frame stronger than any gm garbage at the time. the 300 hp 5.4 3 valve never felt like a 300 hp engine in those heavy trucks but more like a old slant 6 dodge pick-up. my 2006 f-150 5.4 came un-glued at 280,000 miles and i only ran amszoil in it from 1st oil change on thru 280,000. having a pile of 5.4 3 valve cores at home went for the rebuild from the .030 over bore, line bored heads, block, cam phaser lockouts, more agressive cams, exhaust, dyno tunes. my mpg was around 17 mpg hwy before now is 19 mpg and sometimes 22mpg. and passes emissions. i was over 400 miles away from home when my engine failed, it never rattled, never had a phaser replacement or timing chains. a timing chain broke and locked it down and amszoil kept that weak crappy ford designed boat anchor together for 9.5 years and 280,000 miles.

You can use a rag (double folded) just behind the phaser, where, in the video, Brian does the measurement (from back of phaser to cam cap) before and after the phaser install and "CAREFULLY" use a vise grips to turn the cam where you need it. (Make sure to use caution and common sense) the rag, thick or doubled, and the vise grips just tight enough not to slip and score the cam but not so tight that you cause crushing issues to the cam.

Why? These engines make good power and are very reliable if you keep up the maintenance. They're not overly complicated to work on either. They just have a longer timing chains to deal with versus the overhead valve engines that have a smaller chain. I personally like that I don't have to disassemble the front end of my Mustang, like overhead valve engines, to install a different cam profile. Just remove the cam covers, follow a few procedures and you're good. That GM engine has its own set of issues. For starters, those Mitsubishi roller lifters they use fail all the time and you have to remove the cylinder heads to get to them. Not to mention, the camshaft is most like ruined and has to be replaced. This myth about GM being so great has never made much sense to me.

After watching the video I now understand that I can just change phases without timing as long as it's done the way you explained in detail. sorry for the dumb question before watching the video . thanks for the great.

I had to change a cam on a 3 valve and nobody had the wedge in stock so I stole some pics off the inter web and carved one out of pine added a long wire handle worked like a champ what really surprised me is how close my fab job looks to the right tool that finally came in three weeks later

Great video bro!! Thanks. I gotta do mine next week!!

I have an 04 f150 I bought new. It started ticking at 90,000 miles. It's now at 230000 miles. I do my own oil changes started at 90,000 mile mark. Driving this truck for 20 years.

very nice video. just the right information for my skill level. Thank you!

Thanks for another great video tech. I have a 2010 with the 5.4 , # 2 has a broken intake valve spring . Can I just remove the passenger head or will driver side need opened up also ? Also should I get radiator and coolers out of my way for this job ? Truck has electric fans and looks like there is room . Thanks again.

Great video man thank you👍 saved me a bunch of money👏👏

Hey man, your video has helped me a lot. I have a 2008 mustang GT, it’s going to need a whole new timing chain lot. What brand do you recommend. I been looking for oem but I can only find the cam phasers, can I get by running oem phasers and have after market chain and tensioners?

Hello great videos. I need to pul only right side head, bad vavles burnt. Do you think that I can use the phaser replascement tool to hold the timing chain while I pull the one head?? of should I just pull it all apart. Thanks for your time.

Would it be the same procedure for a 2003 navigator 5.4 intech?

Tried a while ago. Maybe this time it'll reach you. My 06 had tons of misfires caused my bad boots and plugs. All that was fixed and now I get no misfire codes, but the truck lacks power (like a plugged cat) and has a tough time going over 40 to 50 mph. I dont get any codes, which is odd. I did drop it iff at a "mechanic" and he said it was the phasers, which is fine, I just want to try and verify thats what it is before I open her up. Hopefully, this will reach you. Thanks a ton for the videos, subscribed.

You are a gem.

Hi there , great video. My 2010 f150 4.6 3v 130000 miles Was doing knocking noise randomly I have replace the cvt solenoids Cam phares following your instructions And I was runing smooth for 2 days then it randomly started the knocking sound again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. And the Check engine light never comes on.

Can you method be used when doing a complete timing chain replacement? Is there a way of doing the complete timing job without removing the cam followers? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

How did you turn each cam to the position you wanted. Do you hand turn the motor? If so which way do i turn the motor i heard its never good to go in reverse of the rotation of the motor. So is it left or right facing the motor. Thank you great video

Gud day fordtech, what are the possible symptom to replace this cam phaser., theres available DTC before you replace this..? Thanks...

I was diagnosing a ticking sound on the driver side and was certain I had a bad roller/follower or lash adjuster, but all checked out to be good. I am left with thinking the cam phaser needs replaced. Would you recommend leaving all of the roller/followers out on the driver side to replace the phaser, or replace them all and position the cylinder 5 intake cam lobes to the 11 o'clock position as stated in your video? Your advice is greatly appreciated! Great channel. I have watched MANY of your videos on the 5.4L 3V and they are EXTREMELY helpful!!! Thank you!

I have a question, do the 2011 Mustang gt 5.0 suffer from this ? do you recommend using 5w30 in place of 5w20 ? I have about 30,000 miles so far

Thank you so much for the informative video, I have 2012 ford expedition 5.4L, mileage is 200KM. It has the P0024 code with "check engine on" for over 2 years now, I have changed the The Oil Control Valve (OCV) to the bank 2, but it did not fix the P0024 code. do you think using the "Cam Phaser Lockout" can fix the problem. note1: there is no knocking noise sound, the sound of the engine is good. note 2: mileage per hour is always around 12mpg. note 3: I am using 5W30 full synthetic engine oil. Thank you.

can u please tell me how can I determine if I have a 2,3 or 4 valve engine.

Thank you for the great video. I am not a mechanic but I just had all timing and cams done on my truck. Still running like crap, off to shop 4th time. I did not use a ford mechanic and regret not doing this. Spend $3500 and truck is still pulling code Poo22-poo12. The people I used all aftermarket parts. Crap!! Now my truck is going to a certified ford mechanic. I’m elderly and disabled so I can’t do the work myself. Lesson learned!! Thank you

according to your video, changing phasers might not be too hard. But is it necessary to adjust cam lobes? If so how do I determine that, also do you offer a video that explains how to to adjust the lobes? Obviously I am a novice

How long did it take you to do this procedure? Thanks for posting.

can you use Lucas Engine Oil additive on these motors will it hurt the cam phaser or help the cam phaser

I'm guessing once we pop the valve covers off and see the chain somewhat loose, it may require a full time job right? Vs only doing the can phaser replacement as shown in this video. I'm afraid of doing the job this way and missing a broken guide or failed tensioner.

Whats your thoughts on cam phazer lock out options

is the process for changing the cam phasers the same on the 4.6?

I TOOK MY F150 to the dealer for a noise , they diagnosed phasers ,paid $1200.00 and the noise still the same ,now that I see your Chanel I think it was the rollers why in the world they didn’t tell me it could be those too? Dealers are bad , end up selling my truck to car max and bought a 01 tundra with low mileage and don’t regret it , by the way good job.

I just finished installing phazers in 2009 F150 5.4. There is not any space to inject the cheese stick down in between the timing chain when you don't remove the timing chain cover. I therefore recommend that you don't do this alone. You are going to find it very difficult to manage removing the chain from the phazer as the chain is under tension which is released when you remove the phazer from the cam. I also recommend a pair of vice grips around the cam back of the phazer with the handle laying against the head. Even then with two people you will find it difficult and nerve racking trying to put phazer under the chain and then placing it on the cam while pulling against the tension.
