If it were me, I'd install the cams without the followers. That way, there is no resistance on the cam lobes, making it so much easier to get everything aligned and the timing correct. Once that is all done, install the followers.
Thanks for the offer. The local Ford dealer is checking to see if they have the tool for me to use, will find out tomorrow morning. If they don't and your ok lending it I may take you up on the offer. Of course I'll cover shipping both ways.
Sounds good. You've been around a while, had some extremely nice cars and judging from your feedback people think very highly of you so I feel comfortable trusting you with them. We both know those tools are ridiculously expensive and if I can help save you some money and get some more use out of the tools then I'm all for it.
