Default Updated cam kits

Good morning folks. This is my 1st post in a forum so I may have some questions that seem silly at points. I have a 2010 F150 4.6L VIN 8 and I’m looking for a factory spec cam kit with updated rockers (oil port specifically). Anyone have any suggestions on where to find best quality? I’ve found a few online but can’t find many reviews. This is my wife’s daily so I’m looking for longevity and reliability over everything. Thanks in advance

Then leave it alone. You will have enough headaches when it comes time to do cam phazers and timing chains.

Cam washed out on the intake lobe for the #4 cylinder so I need to replace them. When the cam failed the rocker for said valve fell off and bent the valve. I’ve had the heads reworked so now I’m looking for parts to go back together with.

Well since you have to do the repair, if you're looking for updated parts for a 4.6, the best place to look is at companies that specialize in Mustang stuff. The 4.6 is obviously overshadowed by the Coyote, but there are still a lot of 4.6 powered cars and trucks out there and it has A LOT of aftermarket support.

Im just concerned that when the heads were "reworked" that the cam caps were shuffled around and if that is the case NO camshaft will function right for him.
