Mix of Zetec cams
o2bfinished - 3/3/09 at 07:54 AM

got my hands on a 95 zetec 1.8 few weeks ago from a Cabro and it appears to be a XR3i type engine as it had a 240 mm clutch v std 215.

I have now removed the Cam cover and it has a 1.8 130ps intake cam fitted with a 2.0 136ps exhaust cam. is this a normal configuration ????

No Cams are normally replaced in Pairs

Doubt y'd get a mix like that

Hi

That is what became STD on all the 130ps spec engines. Only the very early ones actualy had 130ps spec inlet and exhaust cams. Ford dropped the exhaust after a short time to get better emmisions by replacing it with the 2Ltr one. Hence people upgrade a 105 and 115 spec by fitting STD 2Ltr cams.

The very early genuine 130 spec exhaust cams gave a very small performance increase over the later 2ltr ones. But nothing you would really notice when driving.

many thanks for the assistance.

Looks like I now have a set of 2.0L Cams to sell as I dont need to change the ones in the engine
