12.
Remove the 6 cam bolts corresponding to the side you are working on. Use the 1 ½" wrench to hold the
cams in place.
13.
Rotate crankshaft to the nine o’clock, relaxed position, as
pictured on this page. If the camshaft bolts are not in a
similar position to the picture, rotate the crank 360° and
check again. Repeat steps 10-12 for the left bank.
14.
Depress the secondary timing chain tensioner and carefully
slide off both of the VCT (phasers) and secondary chain
together as an assembly. This process is also much easier
with another person helping. Take extra time because
dropping the phaser assembly could easily damage the
phasers. Repeat for the other bank. (See Fig. E)
15.
Make note the OEM has labeled each main cap with a
number and direction with an arrow. These caps are not
interchangeable. They must be reinstalled exactly where they
were removed from. (See Fig. F)
16.
On the left bank, using the left bank removal sequence on
page 7. Loosen the bolts, labeled 1-20, 1 full turn. Then
repeat the sequence loosening the bolts one turn per pass until
the caps are all loose. Loosen the bolts the rest of the way and
discard. These main bolts are torque-to-yield and can not be
reused. Repeat for the right bank using the right bank
removal sequence on page 8.
17.
Lift off the main caps and set aside, remembering they must
be installed exactly where they were remove from. Make
sure you keep the left and right bank caps separated so they
do don’t get crossed during re-assembly.
18.
Remove OEM camshafts and set the new COMP Cams®
camshafts in place with the pin locations as pictured on this
page. Lubricate main cap the bolts, cam journals, and cam
lobes generously with supplied COMP Cams® Assembly
Lube #103.
19.
To reinstall the camshaft main caps start with new bolts
Ford number N806183-S437 on the Left Bank and use the
sequence on page 7 (Page 8 for right side) while making several passes using 1 turn each pass to
carefully ease the camshaft into the journal saddles on the cylinder head. Once all the caps have lightly
seated, torque the final pass to 4.4 ft./lb. (53 in./lb.) and then, using a torque angle gauge, add 45° of
additional clockwise rotation to finish. Repeat for the Right Bank. Note: Be careful to not over torque
these bolts!
