Yeah like I said.
"The only one listed as being different is the N/A EFi, dont know why cos the EFi Turbo is listed the same as all the rest??!! "

That was from ford!

They are the same, 270 degree, 10.1mm lift at 0.1mm

140 is pricey - i normally pay around 75 quid for cam and followers.

marky_g

tell me about it

that must have just been a shit cam

i rely rely thought that was different

are the compression rations not different on rs models thought that would have had a bearing on it

marky_g

ha ha i had a go at the bloke in the shop as well lol called him a fuking bodger!

Rick

compression ratio is lower, but the cams are the same.

1.9 xr2 on 40's

if its in as new condition they shud take it back, its not fit for purpose if they dont supply what you actually need (your bending that a bit) but 140 quid is 140 quid i'd deffo be tellin em you pay up, if not bullshit up a official letter about them paying up of small claims court or summet, its gotta be returned in good condition tho

(no flamage please, its what i'd do to get the money back out after bein taken for too much £££ by hook or by crook)

They used to be different cams when the cars came out of the factory, but for years now, theres been just one or two spare cams to cover the whole range. Even coming from Ford. Just have a look in the Ford's workshop manual and you can see the differences in timing and duration.

marky_g

nah cam was fucked where it had been rattling 2 of the followers have burred ends and 1 cam lobe was square!!!!!!

fuck them!!!! they just wont get our business anymore,

its not my money, its me mates and he don't seem bothered

if it was me id go fukin nuts 140 is well expensive Burton power only want like 110 inc vat!!!!!

paconassa

according to haynes manual they are 224 degree.... which makes more sense since fast road cam's start at 260º....

Rick

they are 270 degrees at 0.1mm.

They vary from grind to grind - the last one i measured was 271.

JesseT

Yes, I think Ford give the degrees from 0.5mm to 0.5mm so they seem low at first glance.
