[QUOTE="bda1855, post: 5312049, member: 26364"] No... its in the setting of the timing chains.. . its always a VERY good idea to Time the cams as well... and doing that while the motor is in the truck is a MAJOR PITA... Dante told me he wont do it in the truck, he takes the cams and times them on another motor of the same specs, then installs them... since i didnt have an extra 5.4 motor i had to do it in the truck.. took me several weeks to get it perfect... and im still not sure its perfect... but my measurements are within spec... PS i was off 6.5 degrees with one cam, and this was using fird cam gears on Comp Cams... i had to file down the keyway to get enough adjustability out of the ford cam gear... my centerline on the intake is 109.5 deg on the pass side, and 110 on the drivers... thats as close as i could get... the cam card has the centerline at 109 deg.
