[@tekjanson]

Very good video. I noticed that you did not remove any of the valve springs. I think the ford manual requires that 2 valve springs be removed to keep the cam from spinning once the phaser is removed. I guess when you put the phaser back on you can spin the cam back to where it should be by aligning to your mark.

[@mvd4436]

@@LivernoisMotorsports Hi. I was wondering, does installing this delete make the timing chain and system last longer ? Is the engine less sensitive to low oil pressure ? Will engines with deletes last longer with less trouble and why ? Thanks

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

@@mvd4436 Typically speaking the timing chain system takes a beating when the phaser system fails as the shock load is being absorbed 100% by the chain and guides/tensioners. so eliminating this issue puts less stress on those items. It is also less sensitive to oil pressure changes as the VCT system requires a substantial amount of volume to work properly. the engines themselves as a whole don't necessarily last any longer, but the oil/timing systems do, reducing the need to replace them. so as much as we would like to tell you that it would be directly responsible for the engine lasting longer, the engine itself, if you constantly changed those failure points, would last a long life. But, since you are having to replace those items less frequently, it helps life for those items.

[@mvd4436]

@@LivernoisMotorsports Thanks for the answer. One more question. Since you guys have seen your fair share of Fords... When you lock out a 2004 or newer Triton , does it become as reliable as an old 2 valve Triton generally speaking ? Im looking for a truck and I never had problems with 2 valve Tritons. But the phasers are almost pushing me to buy a Chevy. If the locked out 3 valve is close to as good as a 2 valve, I'll just buy a good used Ford and send it to the shop to get locked out right away.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

@@mvd4436 We feel it is, the only issue left is spark plugs on the pre 08 engines, but just changing them every so often is a big part of if you will have issues. But to be fair, 2v engines had their own spark plug issues too.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Are you asking if we install this kit here at our facility?

[@MaxQscience]

Ive watched your video a dozen times until I fully understood the procedure. I have a 4.6L in my 2009 expidition, its no secret that the phasers get worn out at 100k miles. Question: What is the benifits of phaser lockouts ? rather than installing new phasers ? Thank you again for posting this video, its detailed instructions are perfect for the do it yourself person and I look forward to your reply.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

+Silicon Valley Engineer Replacing the phaser actually doesn't address anything in regards to the failure point in this system. The phasers operate off of oil pressure supplied by the engine. When these engines wear, and age oil pressure naturally drops. Because of this, the phaser no longer has sufficient oil pressure to operate correctly. Now, the oil pressure is plenty to still operate the rest of the engine safely, but not feed the high demand of the phaser. The reason you see people claim that replacing the phasers helped is that you have a brand new part with zero wear on it, so it's operating at maximum efficiency, but since it has to pick up the slack for the rest of the engine it can fail within hours again. This is why our lockout is the only permanent fix for the phaser system.

[@MaxQscience]

+Livernois Motorsports Very interesting discussion, thank you for your reply.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

+Silicon Valley Engineer You're welcome

[@craziemjgmailcom]

Will the lock out fix a bad phaser? Or is the lock out designed to prevent failure of a good phaser only?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

This is designed to work in either situation so long as there is no physical damage to the phaser itself.

[@adamr3028]

Make videos assembling the whole engine together using this easy step by step method videos.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

It's definitely on our list to do

[@jonbon438]

Great video and very detailed thank you. Is the cam phaser only on the one side or does this need to be done on both sides of the engine?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Thank you! both sides.

[@erictorres7672]

Thanks for your good information and a question in which places sell the tool and the actuator that blocks the gears

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

We sell them directly on our website. www.livernoismotorsports.com

[@bena9620]

We are considering this for one of our fleet trucks, just trying to find a mechanic that will do it. One mechanic said it is too late (we just started feeling some rough idling this week). This is a better option than engine or phaser replacement and honestly probably worth a try. Thoughts on it being too late or is the mechanic just trying to sell me an engine. Btw if I can get even a year out of this it’s a huge win.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Typically it's only too late IF there is damage to the camshaft and phaser dowel pin area, and that usually takes a long time of ignoring the codes and noise. So if it just started, while it's always safe to inspect, that's highly unlikely.

[@porschetech72901]

great video .... wouldnt you reduce risk of cam moving upon phaser removal by removing several specific rocker arms? i think i also mark cam to head

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Yes, and no. while it further prevents one set of issues, it creates different ones. so we elect to keep them in place

[@sSkillaz336]

On mustang 4.6.. When you are torqueing the phaser bolt to 30 ft/lbs then you do the additional 90 degree is it fine that I did the additional 90 degree with my brother holding the engine with a breaker bar so it won't be able to spin or is that over torqueing

[@hmroa3056]

Excellent demonstration. I'm still learning my ABC's on this dreadful creation by Ford, but why and how does a locked cam phaser help?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

A locked phaser completely eliminated the vct system, therefore there's nothing to fail.

[@Doomsday971]

So question, I read that locking out the phaser will lock it in the full advanced position. Don't we have a kit that will set the cam at zero degrees so there's no issues?

[@Mr-Yea]

This was GREAT!!! It just made me realize I shouldn't do this myself because I work too fast and I will miss a step....smh

[@Fernandez.1987]

What does the phaser lockout do besides eliminate the noise. Does it fix the oil flow .

[@alfredtong3038]

Great video! I’ve heard that I need a custom tune after the phaser lock out. Is that something absolutely needed or can it be skipped.. Thank you!

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

It's 100% required, and we offer the complete, 50-state legal system with tune.

[@chadpreston5549]

when u pull phaser, wont cam move? or equalize

[@mikebrennan4534]

do you have to set the engine timing to a exact position to take the load off the cam before removing the chain? i would be concerned that the cam would want to move due to the valve springs to an unloaded position.

Hello. I plan on replacing my phasers, roller followers and lash adjusters. Now when i take the phasers off can i pull my cam shaft out and just simply lift the followers out and just put new ones back in place?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Yes, you can swap the old followers and lash adjusters out for new ones by removing the camshafts. They should be close enough to maintain the correct lash spec on the engine.

[@robinleahy2446]

Do you also stock the timing chain tensioners or recommend a certain brand, and what oil pump do you recommend ? Also do you recommend a new timing chain? vehicle has 170,000

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

we always use brand new production Ford components if we ever replace any of these. At higher mileage, replacing items like timing guides, oil pump, tensioners, and chains are always a good idea.

[@Thundarr995]

For what reason would you want to lock the cam phasers out? I know they are a weak point on this engine. Would doing this cause a loss in power and efficiency? Or would it not make much difference? A friend of mine has a 03 F150 with this engine. She's replaced the chains & the phasers in her truck. That truck doesn't get great mileage to begin with and it runs great. Hers is 4wd. Gets about 16 mpg. Probably 19 - 20 freeway.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

The reason it to permanently eliminate the possibility of phaser failed which could cause severe engine damage. Most people report better power and economy over failed phasers.

[@jacobortega8910]

I own a 2010 f-150 with a 4.6 3v engine. Could I run a new cam after installing this? the specific cam will be the Brenspeed Detroit Rocker. Also I see you have the option for the performance tune. is it worth the added cost in your opinion seeing you can no longer use a modified tune.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

We do have a solution for performance camshafts, but it would need to be tuned at our facility.

[@jacobsolomon6565]

got my phaser out in the vise. i have the one long bolt style of phaser 04 150. spun my rear cover out of the way on the phaser. my aluminum lock out blocks all go in to easy. i dont have to push the block in all 5 positions. two positions are way loose i wont install in two of them for sure. other 3 dont need force to install. just pick the best one?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Correct, the tightest fit is the optimal position for these. They will not always need pressure to install.

[@jacobsolomon6565]

Livernois Motorsports ya it's such little play. I figured oil will take up the slack

[@Steve-xg1ph]

I'm experiencing a loud buzz and slight power loss and when we ran a scanner tool over the truck it pointed us toward the right cam phaser. Is this what is most likely causing the issue? We can hear the chain knocking slightly on the right side but just wanted to be sure. Is this What sensors should l replace while doing this? I know the tuner deletes the two on the valve cover but are there anymore? Will I experience better fuel economy with this kit?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Steve Moon II This kit definitely helps out all of the issues related to a failed cam phaser. Whether power, fuel economy, or noise related. It does not delete any of the sensors though, nor does it need replacing of any.

[@locknload9143]

QUESTION...Do you recommend putting lockouts in brand new phasers? I'm waiting on my new parts from the U.S. to come in. My Ford phaser was out 90° causing a really bad idel then a crank no start. Thanks 🇨🇦 F150 5.4 L 3V 2006

[@keithsellers7166]

If you have an engine analyzer can you do the tune up procedure after installing the cam phaser lock out using the analyzer?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

If you're talking a scan tool, no you cannot. Our complete kit comes with the necessary tuner and calibration.

[@technologyonthebeach7949]

So I got to thinking on this whole cam phaser issue on the 5.4L . So wouldn't just getting a new torque bolt fix the issue for another 100k? I know the lick out is a more permanent fix but it seems like the bolt getting out of torque because of the design flaw is biggest prob and may stay good after replacement for 100plus miles. I'd be fine with that for a $10 part.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Technology on the Beach No, the phasers lose control due to reduced oil pressure that naturally happens as the engine ages and wears. The phaser itself, along with the timing drive, and fasteners have nothing, or at least very little to do with this phenomenon. That's why replacing the entire drive system with new components maybe lasts for 1-15k miles before happening again.

[@raptor50trex]

So If I was to get the ford racing hot rod cam would I need to lockout the cam to keep good clearances .

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

The hotrod cams clear with no problems. The lockouts would not be needed just because you installed these cams.

[@SeekerFor1000]

The phaser on the 5.4 2007 F150 I just pulled apart has all the same length bolts in the phaser. Do I have to do anything different when installing the locks? There is no long bolt holding the spring.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Other than making certain you orient it properly when going back together, no. Just pay special attention to the disassembly process as you will not have the long bolt to reference.

[@Mxmxv43]

So all I need is this special wedge tool and I can remove the phaser without messing with the rockers? Can I buy just the wedge tool?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Mxmxv43 That is correct, the wedge tool allows for removal of the phaser with no other component removal. As for selling it separately, we do have the tool by itself.

[@nickraber8094]

Besides the obvious of noise reduction and reliability, what are the effects of doing this lockout? I would assume less power?

[@DoctorRickSanchez]

Actually you would get more performance out of it. That's why they recommend running a tune.

[@jondiazzz]

I already have the complete kit (timing chain, tensioners, cam phasers, etc.). It's Ford OEM. Can I purchase only the blue lockout pieces?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

+Jonathan Diaz Jonathan, this kit will not work properly unless it's used in it's entirety. Installing the lockouts without our tuner will result in check engine lights, and poor running conditions since the vehicle will be running in a failsafe mode. Since we package this as a discounted group offering, it's actually cheaper to buy it as a complete kit, rather than buying the programmer, and the lockouts separately.

[@AWoodworkersLife]

Customer of mine has an ‘08 F-150: If a 5.4 3V is already idling rough and throwing codes, are the existing cam phasers going to have to be replaced before installing this lockout kit, or can I just use the phasers that are acting up since they will no longer be able to rotate internally?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

We always recommend inspecting them for damage, especially around the cam dowel pin area. if they are undamaged, there is no need to replace them.

[@jonthompson8807]

im not super sure but i have seen a lot of articles/forum posts/ videos about this specific issue with ford engines. i think that piece doesnt perform as designed and causes the chain its affixed to to either under perform or over perform against the engines performance. which wares the part out over time.

Can the handheld tuner be used to tune other things or does it only work for the VCT system?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

We have other tuners available but the included device is only for the lockouts.

[@leonuug]

Do you use any special tool to hold the camshaft to tighten the phaser bolt? Thanks an very good idea of using this lock out system.

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

I did the cam phaser lockout on my 5.4 L three valve, and had a question about it. Once the lock outs are in, is there any reason why the spring and plate on the back of the phaser still need to be there? i’m not a motor engineer, but I do have a solid engineering background it seems like the outer plate is mostly there to provide centrifugal force that shifts the internals. Once the phaser is locked, does it need to spring at all?

[@anthonyaguilar6978]

this package comes with our MyCalibrator tuner which makes the appropriate adjustments to operate with locked out VCT

[@07ford460]

is it ok too do all this without a torque wrench?

[@deshannan6298]

After fitting camshaft phaser lock out does the ECM have to be reprogrammed

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Des Hannan indeed it does, and our kit comes with all of the necessary parts, and our CARB EO tuner

[@fl3cko91]

Do you have to do it to both phasers or just that one side?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

Both sides must be done

Muy bueno el vídeo m gustaría que lo traducirán en español sería muy bueno para los que no entienden el inglés

Unfortunately, as we are a very small company, we do not have the staffing to be able to do so for this.

okay so I have a ford 150 I have 2 lock out... do I need to put those lock out on both of them??

[@kimroberson8376]

Now that's a good question....second question does the oil & water pump need to be replaced while the valve cover and front cover are off????

[@Kvr3005]

Did the 6.8L Triton V10's have cam phasors as well ?

[@LivernoisMotorsports]

+Kvr3005 Actually they do not, but since they a single pulse, 1-bank cam position reference their "fixed position" cam Gears cannot be used in a v8.
