Roller cam
I have a 93 F150 w/ 5.0L that a Jasper reman motor was installed. I looked at engine before intake was put on & it had a roller cam in it. The mechanic told me that all 5.0L engines from 87 up had them. Could this be causing my miss? (Thread called Help with miss)

It is not Mass air equipped. OK, here is the history on the truck. Ran fine til 186,000 miles then #8 cyl went away, 0 compression. Replaced with Jasper reman, ran fine at first, then check engine light came on then driveablity problems started. It misses under a load. The mechanic that I had working on it checked everything & then started throwing parts at it. Replaced distributor, coil ignition module, EGR valve & position sensor, o2 sensor, fuel pressure reg., injectors, transmission & convertor. Then at about 200,000 that engine developed a knock whick turned out to be piston in #7 cyl. Replaced engine problem still continued. Had another mechanic look at it, he said replace the computer. After that the truck ran fine. At 244,000 while on vacation fuel pump went out, replaced it, ran fine until I got back from vacation, then it started to miss under load again. Replaced cap, rotor, plugs, wires, FPR, & computer. Still missing under load. Was told by Jasper that the truck had a roller cam in it from the beginning(not sure, didn't see it) but 1st and 2nd motors were rollers. Please help!! (sorry for long post)

My 1992 Ford F150/250/350 Serivce Manual says that the 1992 302/5.0 had roller cams. And every rebuilt engine web site that I have looked at says that the 92 and up 5.0 for the truck is a roller cam engine.

I have an F150 4wd with a late 1991 mfg date that has a 5L with a roller cam. I can't swear that this is the original engine. It is not the Mass Air Flow set up.
