Same question.
I have an 04 5.4 3v.
Ordered cam follower and rockers from eBay, based on this add from oemselect.
https://www.oemselect.com/catalog/pr...4/category/58/
Now someone tells me that the cam followers are not right and are for 05-09 and the correct followers are 3L3Z 6500-BA while this set that I ordered has 5L1Z 6500-A..
The question is this..
Its obvious that I ordered what was correct based on the ad, however , if the cam followers are wrong, as I was told, will they work anyways?
differences between 3L3Z 6500-BA and 5L1Z 6500-A ? (I saw the picture posted showing undercut one 05, and chamfer on 04 )
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

I'm going to hope they will ship me correct ones then and correct the 04 through 09 on the advertisement.
My question about why they will not work is still valid though I think?
Isn't the undercut to fit the rockers that are included in the kit?

Nothing stopping you from submitting you Vin to confirm correct application specs then, or now. Do it now. You might be pleasantly surprised.
