[QUOTE="watman02, post: 10545569, member: 113535"] ok so the local Ford dealer had the intake cam sproket bolts in stock!!!!! wow I couldnt belive that. and the valve cover gaskets will be in tomarrow morning. So I took apart the other side(pass) and replaced that cam. the issue I ran into with that side was the timing cover was too close to main timing gear. as you can see [ATTACH=full]169867[/ATTACH] so I endded up not removing it. I compressed the tensioner and locked it with a paper clip(same as other side) see pic [ATTACH=full]169868[/ATTACH] and removed cam mains and was able to get the cam out with the tensioner compressed and some wiggling. lubed up the new cam and installed (using vise grips as my holder) and slowly tightend down the cam mains alittle bit at a time on both mains [ATTACH=full]169869[/ATTACH] Pic is after cam is torqued down now I just need valve cover gaskets and is time to put it back together. oh hear is a picture of the main timing chain block i made to hold the main chain aginst the tensioner guides you can kinda see it in the pic. [ATTACH=full]169870[/ATTACH] here is what the tool looks like [IMG]http://i1114.photobucket.com/albums/k532/watman02/HPIM1951.jpg[/IMG[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
