Gen3 Hemi VVT Phaser Lock! Installing COMP Cams Part Number 5760 for the 5.7 (345) / 6.4 (392)

First of all I apologize for the horrible video quality. I ended up having to run the clips through a file converter to get them loaded into the video editor, and I think it really wrecked the quality. I'll definitely be looking into a new HD camera sooner rather than later...
In this video, I run through the process of installing the COMP Cams Phaser Lock Kit for the 6.4 Gen3 Hemi we're building. The purpose of the phaser is to vary the camshaft position in relation to the crankshaft position. In the Gen3 Hemi, this is done with oil pressure. Depending on how much the computer commands, the phaser can advance or retard cam timing by about 20 degrees of rotation. The issue comes in when installing a cam with a higher valve lift or larger lobe separation angle, where you may have an acceptable piston-to-valve clearance with the phaser in its relaxed state, but when the computer commands it to move and adjust cam timing, catastrophe can occur in the form of pistons hitting valves. The COMP phaser lock kit eliminates the variable valve timing entirely by installing a physical blockage into the phaser, essentially jamming it and turning it into a normal cam sprocket. You will also need to remove the solenoid that controls the VVT and replace with a plug available from Stanke Motorsports. It's the horizontal solenoid parallel to the camshaft, and gets installed in the engine block, between the cylinder heads, under the intake manifold.
Hope this video is helpful

not enough hemi guys throwin down like this. thx.

Great video very very in depth I like it looking into fully locking out the Vvt I seen a study why you lose torque sometimes and gain it back sometimes with the limiter on degreeing the phaser to 7 degrees

Thank you I am working on my 2500 ram 5.7 Got to this phaser and was so lost with the instructions. so thanks for the great video.

Great video man, good luck with the build!

[@ghostwrench2292]

Very clear description of the procedure. Thank you for the video!

[@charliec5653]

Great video. I'm working on my 2009 Challenger R/T

Thanks for this video!

[@Badgeweefixstuff]

Very good video very well done 👍🏻👍🏻🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇺🇦

[@kristianvela1640]

Uh question lol can’t find anything on what happens when you forget to put the spring tool on And the spring unwhins can you whined it back up? Or ??? Asking for a friend lol

[@Deadstorage]

Great video, can you explain what this lock does for the cam? And do you reset the timing back to factory settings?

[@odiousalpha2775]

Will it be the same with a no vtt I have a 2008 charger 5.7 hemi

[@devinbruhm1008]

Now, dose this do anything in regards to the mds

[@user-fo5my3gb6k]

What is the difference between it and phaser limiter ?

[@michaelcarson6744]

Anyone else have a gear/phaser smaller than cam snout

[@denisdenis2034]

Why blocks the cam phaser in the retard position, which removes torque and increases fuel consumption for normal driving? Retarded the cam timing gives more power at high revs but takes away some at low revs so why lock it late? ??

[@Hemisphere_Racing]

This part only physically locks the phaser so it cannot adjust can timing and removes the chances of any piston to valve contact due to that. If you want to degree the cam in any way you do that with a multiple key way lower timing sprocket.
