ST valvetrain

[TMac]

I've been doing research, and recently posted that the 3.0 engine had a hydraulic finger-follower valve "rocker" based on info from an internet site. Then, I was looking at the Ford site which listed mechanical buckets. Now, not that this is a big deal, but does anyone here know for sure?

Finally came across this from aviator service manual- shows hydraulic finger followers:

Here was the Ford site:
https://www.ford.com/suvs/explorer/models/explorer-timberline/
Scroll down to Engine Specs- lists mechanical buckets for 3.0 ST engine.

Although it looks like I answered my own question, the site:
https://www.liaviator2.com/lincoln_aviator_assembly_engine-2613.html
has a lot of info on the 3.0 engine as well as pics.
