Roller finger followers are the interface between the camshaft lobe and the valve stem, and the GT500 versions in the M-6564-M52A feature higher-strength steel rollers and upgraded bearings compared to the production Gen 2 followers, making them a common upgrade for performance builds targeting higher RPM use, aftermarket camshafts, or simply a factory-spec refresh with GT500-grade hardware. The kit covers both intake and exhaust positions on all four cam positions, providing a complete valvetrain renewal in a single part number. Designed as a direct OEM fitment replacement for the Gen 3 Coyote platform with no modifications required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey

division of Ford Motor Company, producing genuine OEM and racing-derived components for Mustang, F-150, Focus, Fiesta, Fusion, and other Ford platforms. Every Ford Performance part carries the same engineering standards as Ford production components and is backed by Ford's parts warranty program. Ford Performance has powered championship-winning programs in NASCAR, NHRA, IMSA, WRC, and the World Endurance Championship, and the M-6564-M52A is a direct result of GT500 development for road-racing applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Ford Performance M-6564-M52A?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ford Performance M-6564-M52A is a complete set of 32 camshaft roller finger followers taken directly from the 2020 Shelby GT500 production spec. It is designed to fit the Gen 3 5.0L Coyote, 5.2L GT350 Voodoo, and 5.2L GT500 Predator cylinder heads, providing upgraded higher-strength roller and bearing assemblies for engine builds, valvetrain refreshes, or direct-replacement service on compatible applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat vehicles does the M-6564-M52A fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-6564-M52A fits the 2015-2020 Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT350R, the 2018-2024 Mustang GT and GT Premium, the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500, the 2019-2020 Mustang Bullitt, the 2021-2023 Mustang Mach 1, the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse, and 2018-2020 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the 5.0L Coyote engine. It is not compatible with Gen 1 (2011-2014) or Gen 2 (2015-2017) Coyote cylinder heads without confirming head casting compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow many followers are in the M-6564-M52A kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes 32 roller finger followers, which is the complete engine set for a two-cam-per-head, four-overhead-cam 5.0L or 5.2L Ford V8. This covers all intake and exhaust positions on both the driver and passenger side cylinder heads in a single purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy upgrade to the GT500 M-6564-M52A followers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GT500 followers use higher-strength steel rollers and upgraded needle bearings compared to the standard Gen 2 Coyote production parts. For performance builds targeting higher RPM, aggressive aftermarket camshafts, or boosted applications, the stronger GT500 spec followers provide greater durability and reduced wear under sustained high-load operation. They are also the correct OEM replacement for Gen 3 Coyote and GT350 service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to replace the lash adjusters with the M-6564-M52A?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLash adjusters are compatible across Coyote generations and do not require replacement when installing the M-6564-M52A. However, on high-mileage engines or during a full valvetrain refresh, replacing the lash adjusters at the same time is common practice to ensure consistent valvetrain geometry across all positions. Ford Performance part M-6564-M52LA or equivalent covers the lash adjuster set if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre the M-6564-M52A followers compatible with aftermarket camshafts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The M-6564-M52A GT500 followers are compatible with most aftermarket camshaft profiles designed for the Gen 3 Coyote and 5.2L GT350 platforms. However, extremely aggressive lobe profiles with steep ramp rates or high lift numbers may require cam-specific follower validation from the camshaft manufacturer. For Coyote performance builds, these are the preferred OEM-sourced follower for most reputable cam grinder recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the M-6564-M52A in a Gen 2 Coyote (2015-2017 Mustang GT)?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-6564-M52A is designed for Gen 3 Coyote heads and 5.2L Voodoo heads. The Gen 2 Coyote uses a different rocker arm geometry and rocker ratio (1.73:1 versus the Gen 3's 2.04:1), so the M-6564-M52A is not the correct replacement for a Gen 2 application. For Gen 2 Coyote service, use the M-6564-M50 instead. Confirm cylinder head casting before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the rocker ratio of the M-6564-M52A followers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rocker ratio varies by application. In the 5.2L GT350 Voodoo heads, the followers operate at a 1.9:1 ratio. In the Gen 3 5.0L Coyote heads, the ratio is 2.04:1. The M-6564-M52A follower geometry is optimized for these head configurations and provides a slight increase in effective valve lift over the equivalent Gen 2 Coyote follower when installed in Gen 3 heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove the valve covers on both cylinder heads and ensure all camshaft position sensor wiring and accessory routing is cleared before accessing the camshafts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotate the engine to TDC on the cylinder you are servicing and confirm no valves are in contact with the follower positions you are removing.
