camshaft stuff
i'm buying trick flow cams for my 5.4. i have a few questions.
2002 5.4 pi heads. buying this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TF...2001/?rtype=10
1. Do i NEED adj. cam gears?
2. if not, will the stock cam gears bolt on the new cams? or are they pressed on?
3.will i have to worry about any piston to valve clearence?

Order how to video first. Timing chain if warn. Camshaft timing experience. Lots of patience. Notice the valve springs with the Cams. You will need an air compressor and fitting to put air to each cyl while changing the valve spring. If you don't have camshaft problems there are better ways to get better returns from your truck, like better gears in the axles for more torque to the road.
