Help with identifying cams please.
I would like to find out what cams are in my engine. 2.0ltr Silvertop Zetec.
I have been told that people like Piper and Kent put marks on the end of the shaft.
Does anyone have experience of how true this is and which end of the shaft the marks are likely to be, if the front end do I need to remove the cam
cover or just remove the pulley.
Given that the are not standard cams (engine is dyno'd at 174bhp) and that they pulleys are non adjustable is it likely that I would get much
benefit from vernier pulleys and adjusting the cam timing precisely ?
As you can tell I am hankering after some more power, but need to understand where I currently am before I can progess forward. I don't need to
remove the cam cover at the moment so thought I would ask here first.
Many thanks to anyone that can shed any light on this topic

Some put info in casting and Kent do least on a cvh stamp info reference on end, may be as well to take cover off and measure lift to see if you can
identify them, if looking to fit more aggressive ones may also need clearance mods to head, vernier pully useful to set wild cams but not essential as
pulley not keyed on zetec come into their own only if set up on a RR. Also what is rest of setup? Get best from cams looking to ported head etc
