Default What Cams??

Hi guys,

How would I find out what cams are in my zetec engine? I bought the car with these in and havent had contact of what ones they are all I know is they are kent cams and need to know for my rolling road to tune n adjust them for settings. If I took rocker cover off would the code be stamped on the camshaft its self? Any help would be much appreciated ave got a couple of weeks to sort it out for mot

Kent are stamped on the end of the cam, so can dial it in when you look up the settings, if going for rr tune though fit some verniers for best effect, so they can do a cam swing.

If the tuner is able to map the ecu you have don't worry about which ecu you have it will be adjusted as necessary.
The marking is normally on the other end to the pulley, so cover off and a little mirror should sort it to see the markings.
