Guest no2lurch Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 i am considering changing the cams i my 1800 zetec for 2.0 cams. how easy is it to do? do need to change the followers/lifters (do i ned to get the followers/lifters form the donor engine)? do i need to change the bolts that hold the cams in place? what about re-assembly. any tips would be great? how much can i expect to pay for 2.0 cams at a tat yard?

Guest dangerousdave28 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Pretty simple to do Enzo, if you get stuck, give a me shout and I'll come and give you a hand. Going to do mine soon, cam belt needs changing, so thought I'd do it all in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
