99 Explorer sohc cams part numbers and compatibility

[Colderjarl]

Hi I have a 1999 Ford Explorer with the SOHC motor. While trying to torque the reverse thread bolt into the RH cam after starting an install of the Cloyes 9-0398SB timing cassette kit to fix the REALLY bad rattle the truck had I snapped the bolt inside the cam and needed to replace the cam as far as I've seen on various ford dealer websites the F7TZ-6250-AEE was replaced with 7L2Z-6250-D. Still, I can only find 7L2Z-6250-B and 7L2Z-6250-A can I buy these and install them or do I need to find a set of the cams that replace the newer set, find a set of original cams that I have tried. Still, I can only find performance reground cams which I would not mind putting in if I had that kind of money or something else?

Good luck with the search! Hopefully someone can chime in with knowledge. Youre right the only ones I remember are performance ones from SuperSix etc.
