Jim, the only Zetec Focus with VCT is the Focus SVT. Normal Focus and Escape Zetec engines do not have VCT.
The 98 and later certainly do. Do you need me to scan a page from the shop manual to show you? I have seen a few replaced. As I said before, the 98 and newer uses VCT on the exhaust cam (to eliminate the need for an EGR valve) while the Focus SVT uses it on the Intake cam. You can see a bluge in the cam cover to make room for part of the mechanism. That same bulge moves to the intake side on the SVT. This will be my last post on this thread. I don't care to get into a pissing match.
