Hey guys, first time poster and I'm at a loss here hoping someone can help.. so to start, the engine is a reman with FHRR cams, FHRR intake and tb, it had dorman phasors out of the create, I didn't want to trust that so I got the ford racing timing set, instal went rather smooth when I cranked it over heard a kinda knocking sound. stopped and started inspecting..What I found is that the passenger bank phasor is striking the camshaft sensor,,. What did I screw up? Can anyone please help me???

Did you install the cams yourself? I know one cam is longer than the other. Maybe they're on the wrong sides but I think you would have noticed that. I've also never heard of the company that made your cams and intake. Are you sure they are for our cars?

Do both cam phasers look identical? Maybe one is not seated properly. There is a keyway or something to keep them lined up, maybe it is not on there properly. Otherwise I'm at a loss. Unless the sensor is wrong. No problems with the other side?

Swap the sensor from the other side and see what happens.
