Don't quote me on this but I think the 01 1/2 models have the non pressed on ones. I know my 00 had pressed on cam gears, so I had to get some new ones.

Most, not all, were bolt on after mid '01. I believe the romeo motors had bolt on. Look at your VIN. The 8th character will be an X or a W. X = windsor, W = romeo. Go figure. The only way to be absolutely sure is to pop a valve cover off and see.

i was wondering the same thing when i was doing my cams, i think if you have a windsor, you dont have too, dont quote me on that, i think that is what scott from VT told me, i didnt need them (windsor), but it was like 75 or so if you do. look on vtengines.com and select a cam set then you will see the optional gear add on. actually i just looked for you, they are $69.
