Question Heads

I have a 99 F550 with a 6.8 Triton V10
I just picked up another engine last week
that has a knock in it but I just wanted it
for all the parts. I have never worked on
a V10 before. I took the heads off and on
only one head above the cam is a shaft with
two weights on it with a gear on one end
that runs off the cam. Can anybody tell me
what it is and anything about it? Because I need
to take it off to get the head bolts out but
im shure it has to be in time with the cam.
So what do I do?

You're right, this forum isnt much help for V-10 info. But I would bet that if went to the "6.8 modular V-10" forum, you might have better luck.
