I watch your video on the 5.4 3v rebuild and seen when y'all where setting timing that on driver side on cam the notch was facing down and on passenger side the notch was facing up looking for more info on the cam timing.

Right, there is a R and L on both with an arrow pointing up. It's the same part used on both sides.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching and for using 2CarPros!

I am not sure what you are saying, the notch on the camshaft goes into the actuator which has the timing a marking on it. Can you upload an image of your concern?

The notch on the camshaft should match the notice on the phaser. It shouldn't matter if it is up or down as long as the noticed line up when tightening. If you upload an image, I can be sure of what you are talking about.
