Under low oil pressure situations, the cam phasers in modular engines sound like a bent valve flopping around in your engine; since the rotating phaser is clicking against itself. When it comes to upgrading cams on a modular motor, an aggressive cam will cause interference between the piston and valve and requires a lockout that eliminates your variable valve timing. Truth be told by Livernois - there is still power to be had from retaining your cam phaser in a controlled state; thus they have released a phaser kit that limits the timing to a maximum of twenty degrees versus the factory 60.
The limiter also keeps the metal disks from clicking against each other with it internally sprung limiter. Livernois claims that you can retain 20 horsepower with the limiter versus a complete lockout. This will allow for more lift and a more aggressive ramp in your camshaft profile. The new phaser is made from an all billet construction.
Windage Solutions for Modular Motors
Livernois has designed these oil drain back extenders to empty the oil back into the pan rather than getting caught up by the windage from the crank. The drain backs come with a tap and is designed for a fresh build since you will need to clean metal out of the tapped oil returns. Additionally, they have developed a crank scraper that helps further reduce windage and keeps excessive oil off your crank.
