Disregard my previous post, not sure what I was thinking. That doesnt look like a cam-phaser to me.

Please don't do that. Return it. That's not an OEM Phaser and we spend all our time on this forum trying to get members to not to use aftermarket timing stuff.


Edit: After thought. BTW, what was the symptom on that engine that prompted you to order phasers?

Call Livernois. They got a kit that they say fixes all the problems with phasers.

F150s with 4.6s in this generation DO NOT have cam phasers. Return product for a refund.

1. No it doesn't, and
2. It doesn't apply to this engine
