They stick out of the valve cover. They have an electrical connection on top of them.

Pretty sure on 06 and later models you don't have to remove the valve cover. The VCT sits on top.

Other way around. On the 2004-2006 you don't have to take the valve covers off.

My 08 does the same thing,replaced the cam sensors then the VCT solenoids and it seemed ok for a while but when the engine is hot and low idle ie backing up or turning it does the death rattle again,ford says i need a new motor....Im considering doing an engine swap or 5.0l conversion
