Stick Swap: 5.0 Camshaft and Valvetrain Upgrade
|
While our cam swap involved replacing 16 hydraulic-roller lifters, sometimes only a camshaft is being replaced and a full dismantling of the top of the engine (removing the lower intake) isn't necessary. Anderson Ford Motorsport makes this cool Tappet Tool (PN AF-0601) setup that makes it easy to swap a cam with the lower intake in place and lifters still in the block. The tool consists of 16 powerful magnets attached to the tips of long bolts that fit in the pushrod holes of each cylinder head. A simple tug on the bolt when it makes contact with a lifter and a wing-nut adjustment to hold the raised lifter in place are all that's necessary for keeping lifters off the cam lobes while you pull out the camshaft.
