Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I called OTC and they sell a new version of this tool, same model. If you do a google search many stores will show the new picture. It is based on the Ford tool 303-567. According to them, all new sales should be the new version. It is uncertain if Amazon has old stock.
The new tool bends at 90 degrees instead of being straight, and has a raised area where the socket is placed (instead of being flat). There is much cam cap interference and it adds tons of frustration to an already difficult job. The tool may not even work when centered on the cam, you may have to offset it a bit to account for the obnoxious raised area.You must use this new tool with a long horizontal 3/8 extension or the socket head will lock onto the cam cap. This is what happened with my 95 4.6L engine. It is less of an issue with the 32V engine but its still very awkward. I don't know about later years, but it is suggested for all modular engines. The tool got two stars because it works great on the center valves where there is no cam retainer.
These tools are designed by Ford. I don't know why they would change a good design into something that is practically unusable.
