Ok so after making the decision to definitely replace my lifters and rockers in my 2004 F150 5.4 3v while doing my cam phasers and timing set..what is the best way to do it?

Should I use the spring tool or just remove the camshaft? I've seen a couple of videos where the rocker was popped off with a screwdriver but I've got 24 to do and don't think I could do all of them without damaging at least one.

I saw a video of a cam swap and it looked like the easiest way but I've never done this so would this be the best?

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Ken

 

I would think that pulling the cams would be the safest route to avoid possible damage but others here may have more experience.

Have you got the new parts yet? We have an exceptionally good deal on lifter and follower sets. http://www.tascaparts.com/timing-and..._str=m-6529-3v

Thanks Steve. Are those lifters and rockers on the link you sent me for a 4.6 3v or 5.4 3v? No I haven't bought them yet but I think those are for the 4.6.

Thanks,

 

Those are the same parts on all the 3v engines.

Thank you.
