Cam phaser question

[rod7515]

I ordered a melling OE cam for my 2011 5.7 hemi which has MDS. I also ordered the melling phaser. Will this phaser just bolt on without having to do any modifications.
I’m not sure what a limiter kit does but I’m thinking when running a stock OE cam a limiter is not needed?
Please help me understand if I need a limiter or if I can just bolt the phaser on and go.
Thanks Rod

I'm gonna guess and say if the melling phaser didn't say it had the limiter installed or give you an idea of what degrees it's set for I'd assume it's stock jist for safety sake. You could look it up and see if it says safe for aftermarket cams but it's likely you'll need the cam Phaser limiter. If you install The limiter the instructions are super easy. Don't screw up like I did and pull the one bolt out all the way :/ spent half a night fixing that mess.
