COMP Cams - CCA5449 - Cam Phaser Limiter Kit for Ford 3V

Cam phasers are specially designed, computer-controlled Cam Gears that automatically optimize Camshaft timing based on the current engine rpm. Engine oil is pressure fed to the Cam phasers through a Series of passageways in the cylinder heads and Camshafts. The engine computers control solenoids that adjust this oil flow into and out of the phaser's control chambers, giving the ability to retard the cams up to 60 crank degrees. While this Technology provides tremendous efficiency benefits, such as fuel efficiency and the ability to always be in the best position for maximum power, regardless of engine rpm, it does present some limitations when it comes to performance Camshafts. With such a wide range of valve timing movement, there is very little piston to valve clearance, which limits you to small Cam profiles with little overlap. The U.S. Patented COMP Cams Cam Phaser Limiter Kits for Ford Modular 3V engines restrict the range of Cam timing movement to only 20 degrees, thus providing the necessary valve clearance for Serious performance cams with tighter lobe separations - all while still utilizing the benefits of VVT Technology. Combining this performance modification with more aggressive Cam profiles has resulted in some of the largest upper-rpm gains we've ever seem from such a simple valve train adjustment without sacrificing any bottom end or mid-range performance. Part Number 5449 Includes:Cam Phaser Limiters (2)Limiter ToolSpring Compressor Our VVT limiter kit for '05+ Ford 4.6/5.4L 3 valve engines comes with 2 phaser limiters, a VVT spring compressor, VVT spring lock tool and the instructions required for proper installation. This kit limits cam movement to 20 degrees.

The COMP Cams CCA5449 Cam Phaser Limiter Kit is designed for 2005 and newer Ford 4.6L and 5.4L 3-valve engines. Cam phasers automatically adjust camshaft timing according to engine speed, but their broad timing range can limit piston-to-valve clearance when using more aggressive performance camshafts. This kit restricts cam timing movement to 20 degrees, helping provide the clearance needed for performance cam profiles while retaining the benefits of variable valve timing.

The kit uses engine oil pressure and the vehicle's computer-controlled solenoids as part of the original variable valve timing system. Limiting the phaser range can support tighter lobe separation camshaft applications and is intended to improve upper-rpm performance without sacrificing bottom-end or mid-range performance. Installation requires the supplied VVT spring compressor, VVT spring lock tool and instructions.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• 20-degree cam movement limit: Restricts cam timing movement to help provide additional piston-to-valve clearance.
