Cam Phaser Delete Lockout Aluminum Block Fit Ford 4.6L 5.4L 6.8L 3V F250 350 450
This pair of cam phaser lockout blocks can be used to lock the factory cam phasers into the fully advanced position permanently. One kit includes two aluminum blocks, which is enough to do one Ford 4.6L or 5.4L 3V engine.
There are cheaper lockout blocks out there, but I have found the quality of these to be very good and they seem to fit nice and snug in the stock phasers. It's important that these blocks fit snug, and don't allow any movement of the phaser internally.

Does this delete the cam sensor?
No. The cam sensor and the cam phaser reluctor wheel are still functional, as the computer needs to know cam position for sequential fuel injection. Deleting VCT with a custom tune will eliminate the cam phaser control and diagnostics, but will not eliminate the cam sensor, reluctor wheel, or cam timing codes.
Pro Tip: The 5 long cam phaser reluctor teeth are easily bent if the phaser is dropped. Make sure you inspect them carefully to ensure they are straight, or you'll get cam timing codes you can't explain.
Pro Tip: Don't remove the one cam phaser cover plate bolt that holds the base of the clockspring, or the spring will go flying and you can be injured. Only loosen that one.
Pro Tip: Using a Wedge Tool will allow you to remove and replace the cam phasers without removing the timing cover. Just remove the valve covers instead.
Pro Tip: Do one phaser at a time. Install one aluminum block in each phaser. Install it into the slot that it fits the most snugly into.
Pro Tip: I can cut your tuning costs in half when you do this job more than once. Ask me how!
These cam phaser lockout blocks are inserted into the cam phaser, where they take up all the space in one of the five oil passages, preventing all movement of the cam phaser and locking it tightly in the fully advanced position. Unable to phase or move, the ticking or knocking noise is gone for good. And since there's nothing here to fail long term, the solution is permanent. This keeps your truck on the road and out of the repair shop. This can be especially beneficial on high mileage or fleet vehicles.
The lockouts are precision machined to fit in one section better than the rest. The lockout kit easily installs into the void that has the tightest fit. Push the lockout block down into the phaser and wiggle to set it as deep as possible to begin your work.
These permanent repair kits will change the phaser to a solid hub design and install a new tune into the vehicles computer to get it out of the 'limp' mode and return it to normal operations.
