[QUOTE="trekrok, post: 4089909, member: 6668"] I did our 2011 expedition. I got the Ford kit and did the upgrade on the higher pressure oil pump. It may have been a melling but don't remember for sure. I had to replace a bent valve and the passenger cam too, so it was a little bigger job. But, I don't remember it being terribly hard. I also don't remember many special tools. There was a 'cheese' wedge to tension the chain, but that was probably a couple dollars. If you'll let me know what other special tools are involved, I'll look and see what I have. Personally, rather than replacing the cam phasers, I'd do the lockout kit and get rid of them altogether. It would be cheaper even after the programming, and it gets rid of the problem. Mine is sounding like they are going bad again. I'll either do the lockout this time, or drive it off in the canyon, which would be my preference. That video that sooner linked is great. That guy knows his stuff. [/QUOTE]
