I finally got the spark plug repair kit from Lock n Stitch.

Spark plug holes are now repaired on my reman'ed cylinder heads...


Anyway, I can't find a service manual for camshaft installation. I could wing it, but i'd much prefer the 2v manual. I have a 3v manual, but those don't have a balancer.

Any help would be appreciated!

The 6.8 3v does have a balancer on the left side head, would imagine it would be similar, but probably best just to use the 2v manual.

If you don't want to find/buy an old copy of a ford superduty chassis (there may or may not be an F53 specific version) service manual, you could probably just get a $20 1 month subscription to AllDataDIY for a 2000 superduty truck with the 6.8L.

What do you need? Torque specs? caps are 71-106 inlbs. Ford says to install cam/ torque it, then use a special tool to install followers after that. If you don't have the tool, tighten the caps slowly / evenly with followers installed.

I dont have "the tool", but i followed the sequence at 70in lbs, rotated the camshaft, then torqued to 89 in lbs (in sequence).

Apex, thanks for the tip. I'm gonna do that!
