First off i am no mechanic and know just enough basic engine knowledge to be dangerous or stupid depending on how you look at it. I have a 1999 gt that i purchased HiTech cams for. Now i know that i need new timing gears as the HiTech cams use the newer 2002-2004 timing gears as they are supposedly keyed instead of pressed on. My question is where do you get the key!? Ford does not have a part number for the key (unless the two different ford parts people at two different dealers i spoke with are complete idiots). Are they supposed to come with the camshafts? Or does that spacer thing that is also required act as a key? I cant look at the camshafts as they are at my mechanics shop already.

thanks for the help in advance.

 

answered my own question. the key is built into the sprocket/gear so there is no part number/it is not a separate piece.
