Step 9: Insert the bolts and torque to 85 in. lbs. Remember to take note that one bolt is longer than the others. This long
bolt goes through the back of the cam gear and acts as a post for the cam phaser spring’s J-hook to attach onto. Make sure
this long bolt is inserted into the correct hole that positions itself properly in relation to the spring’s J-hook.
Important Installation Notes!!!!!!
• Reinstall the cam position sensors before starting the engine!
• WARNING!!!!! Once the Cam Phaser Limiters have been installed, you MUST
remove the spring lock tool before rotating or starting the engine! The spring
lock tool is not meant to be left on, it is for installation purposes only!
COMPUTER TUNING
You MUST reprogram your engine’s computer after installing COMP’s
Cam Phaser Limiter Kit!!!!!
Yes, you MUST have your engine’s computer reprogrammed for the engine to operate properly after installing the cam
phaser limiters. The Ford factory computer does a diagnostic sweep test of the cam phasers upon start-up. If the computer
cannot get the cam phasers to reach their programmed maximum limit, an error mode occurs. The engine will continue to
run, but the cam phasers will not function properly. The guidelines for reprogramming are simple; just make sure that the 7
tuning menus related to cam phasing do not have any values listed above 20 degrees.
