Zetec Camshafts
I have a pair of 2L camshafts from a 1999 Mondeo. Can I swap these with my 1.8 silvertop Zetec, and if I did what advantages in power etc. can I
expect. (Fisher Fury 1.8 Zetec on twin 40 DCOE Webers standard EDIS ingnition.)
Cheers
Brian

If they both silvertops then yes, I did that... expect about 10bhp extra.

didn't know there was a difference between blacktop and silver top cams, is this because of 1 having hydraulic and 1 solid lifters?

Yes, the blacktop cams are slightly more radical, they dont have sich a gentle slope to lift the follwers, if you use blacktop cams in a silvertop
expect faster follower wear, especially if you hammer it.

Thanks for the responses but does it make any difference if the 2l camshafts work on solid tappets will it still work on the hydraulic tappets in the
1.8

Hi, you cannot fit blacktop cams (solid followers) in a silvertop engine (hydraulic).
You need a pair of 2.0L cams from a silvertop 130bhp mondeo to hop up your your 1800.

around 10bhp silvertop to silvertop make sure you fit the right cam to eacjh ie inleyt and exhaust they can be differentiated by the inlet having
another lobe for the cam sensor.
Definitely worth it and a cheap upgrade

Thanks all
The cams are from a blacktop so will be no good for my 1.8 silvertop.
