Figure I'd post this in the 4.6 section, if it needs to be moved then feel free

Here's the video consisting of pictures I took during the install and some stock video clips and new ones at the end. Fun times!

Approximately 6 minutes long and 40 MBs

We started on Friday night and finished it Tuesday. we didn't work full days though. Valvesprings took up 3 days time. The tool came from Snap On.

btw.. the video will be redited and changed.. I just found out there was a miss in the car.. possible was only running on 2 cylinders lol

ok, snap on. i was gonna ask you where you got that. do you have the torque specs? i was looking for them if you wouldnt mind. also, do you need a special tool to time the cams? or do you just line up the marks? never done cams driven by a chain. oh, and did you use a new gasket for the timing cover? how do the cams feel? tuned yet?

Awesome, those pictures bring back memories. It looks like you knew what you were doing. Those valve cover gaskets look a lot better than what i put on mine. What kind were they?

No specs, sorry. No special tool needed to time the cams.. you just have to get it all lined up with TDC (top dead center). I put new gaskets all around.. which they are Ford OEM I haven't got on it yet lol, so I dunno how it feels. I just got it finished yesterday and found out it had a miss in it.. 3 rubber boots had a cut or hole in them (our fault) so I had to replace those and it's much better now. I'm suppose to be getting a dyno tune on Saturday, but my tuner called me and said his dyno broke.. so it might not happen yet

BTW, how much did the tool cost? I saw one at Sears for $15 today.
