I have looked and searched for a video or description on how to change the lifters out. So far nothing. can someone help me find something. Step by Step, Difficulty?
eighty6gt: Back Cylinder, right side. Mild noise. Want to correct it before it gets worse... Oil Pressure is Normal..
It makes sense that you would hear it passenger side being that head gets oil after the drivers side on a 4.6. As far as difficulty goes, it's not too bad if you have some experience. There are two ways to do it, one being the proper way and one being the "flat rate" way.eighty6gt: Back Cylinder, right side. Mild noise. Want to correct it before it gets worse...

I'd ask them to clarify why they need to do both sides.
Good point, the ones from the dealership have the revision to the oiling hole as well as of 2018, so they are the exact same thing.ford performance parts for the 4.6 are the factory parts.

They probably only told you that because the frpp set only comes as a complete 24 piece set of lash adj/followers lolI have a shop to do a replacement of my right side rockers and lash adjusters. They are telling me that if I don't do both sides that I can't use Ford performance parts, I'll have to use stock parts. I can't find stock parts to do this. The left bank is perfectly quiet and I'd like to stay out of it. If it's not broken Don't fix it. Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.. Dave

Proper way: 1. Get yourself a cheap timing tool for a 4.6 off amazon(puts the crank in the correct time for when you put your timing chains back on) and 3v valve spring compressor (I'll attach a link at the bottom)
2. Buy two new cam phasers (ford racing or ford motorcraft ONLY)
3. Buy FRPP lash adjuster/roller follower kit.
4. Buy 4.6 2v cast iron timing chain tensioners (the crappy 3v ones blow the seals out)
5. Remove both valve covers, balancer and timing cover.
6. Loosen the cam cap bolts in the same sequence you would torque them down. Loosen a quarter turn at a time in sequence to allow the cam to slowly "lift off" the followers.
7. Remove roller followers and then remove the lash adjusters from their bores.
8. Soak your new lash adjusters in oil and compress them while submerged in oil to sort of "bleed" them.
9. Install new lash adjusters into the head
10. Install cam and torque caps to spec
11. Get other side of engine up to this point.
12. Install new cam phasers and new bolts. Torque to spec.
13. Time motor and install chains to corresponding Mark's. Install timing chain guides and new cast iron tensioners. Release the pin on the tensioners to apply tension on guides.
14. Now the fun part. Disconnect ground cable from battery. Remove spark plugs to make it easier to turn the engine over by hand. Using a large socket on snout of crank (I forget the size) rotate the crank which will in turn rotate the cams. Working on One cylinder at a time, rotate the crank clockwise until the lowest part of the cam lobe is facing where the follower will sit. Once there, use your 3v valve spring compressor to compress the spring (make sure valve lowers with spring so valve locks stay in place)enough to allow you to install the follower under the cam lobe, MAKING SURE its fully seated on the valve stem and lash adjuster. Allow valve spring to return to it's normal position.
15. Repeat for all 24 valves!!
16. Re-install timing cover and valve covers to spec.
"Flat rate" way
1. Remove valve cover and verify faulty lash adjuster (collapsed, stuck etc)
2. Use a timing chain wedge to ensure timing chain wont fall or come out of time when phaser is removed.
3. Carefully remove phaser bolt and slide phaser off the front of the cam. MAKE SURE TIMING CHAIN STAYS ON! you are just repositioning the phaser in front of the cam, not removing it.
4. The valve springs will cause the cam to rotate slightly when you slide the phaser off.
5. Remove cam the same way as "the proper way"
6. Replace lash adjusters as necessary
7. Re install cam the same way you took it off, drawing it down onto the followers by tightening the cam cap bolts a little at a time in sequence.
8. In order to re-install phaser onto cam, the cam will need to be rotated slightly to allow locator pin in phaser to align with groove in cam. To do this. You will wrap a rag around the cam just behind where the phaser sits and use a pair of channel locks to grab and rotate it.
9. Install new phaser bolt
10. Remove timing chain wedge tool

Yes.Is it possible to remove and reinstall the Cam with the phaser attached?
