Phaser Orientation at TDC

[3nigma]

So, currently in the process of upgrading the timing components. The ford manual shows this orientation of the cam phasers for the R mark (Passenger Side) and L mark (Driver Side) at TDC, crank sprocket at 6 o'clock.

Ex:

So in the kit I bought from Ford Performance, both phasers I received have both the L and the R markings. The OEM phasers in the car both have the 'L' mark.. So I'm assuming they're essentially identical and I could just orientate them as shown in the manual, regardless of which side they go in, correct? I've noticed the keyway is located at the R marking on both phasers, so they should be almost at 180 degrees apart, correct?

IE, facing the engine, it should look something like this?

This should help you:

Although the videos refer to a 5.4, the procedure is exactly the same on the 4.6.

Yep, you just use the mark that corresponds to that side of the engine. And another tip: If you don't already have them, get the tools for holding the phaser and the crank in the correct positions. This is what I used:

I used this same set when I renewed my timing components, Works as advertised and made shit a little easier. I'm all for it, worth it for me.

This is the motor out of my 2005 gt. My phasers are locked out but it should like this when you're done.
