all you gotta do to take off the cam gear cover it remove 2 screws and the come right off.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

The Zetec doesn't have a a dowel or anything to set the cams in place from the factory. So they all came a little different(+ or - a few degrees). Thats why you have to get them tuned on a dyno in order to know your gains. So one guys settings would be completely different than the next guys settings. It's not like the civics were you can set your gears based on your mods. And in order to take your cam gears off you hvae to bascially remove your cams. I mean you'll be like two steps away from taking the cams out so you mine as well get some better cams. I had the FR stage 3 and the Crowers stage 2 and they both pulled very nice. The FR3's pulled harder in the low end but the crowers pulled all the way to 8100 were I shifted.  Either way cam gears take about 30 min to swap out with or without cams. Very easy job. get a better mechaninc.

Don't we all! 
I got my set of cams sitting in my garage.
Won't be going in for quite awhile though.
Still in need of;
stage 1 Esslinger head,
ported 2001 Focus intake manifold,
and a header.
Dyno tune & reburn chip, and calling it quits.
And of coure maybe a few little things here and there.
Should be ~215 crank HP.
And that is one Zetec I can't wait to see in person!  Good luck, dude.
I had the stage 2 head from Focus Central, FR stage 3 cams, ported 2000 intake manifold, cam gears, Focus central header and flex pipe, custom 2.5 inch cat back, true ram air intake with ram air hood, custom chip with 24lb injectors, pro flow maf, Focus Central 70 mm Throttle Body, and raised the compression to about 10.75. And I hit 167 hp to the wheels and 152 ft-lb to the wheels. I ran a 14.9 at the track. This was on the focus though and not in a contour. But I thought the engine was pretty similar. The contour zetec must have more hp than the focus zetec did I guess. I'm still learning about the differences between the two. But I built my focus motor from the ground up. So if you can hit 215 crank hp with just that then that would be sweet and you could have one hell of a 'tour.
Good luck

actuallyyyyy Foci zetecs have more HP
zetec contours only come with 125 & 130 HP
that is a lot of engine mods...there needs to be an easier way out. Why can't we have something equivalent to an H22 or something to swap in?
that doesn't make sense...167HP and 152 TQ and you ran a 14.9
Do SVT Contours not respond well to mods or what?

actually 98+ contours have 130hp as well, just an intake design change.... and I can't really reply to the rest of your thread because I'm pretty sure you didn't even read what that guy said.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

nope I just randomly posted for no reason at all...especially about the 167HP and 152TQ, totally random numbers off the top of my head.

yeah they do respond well to mods however they are not a light as a Focus.

are you nuts???? a focus sedan is lighter than a non SVT tour... let alone a SVT with the bigger front and rear bumper the leather interior and the power seats... take a AX3 and the weight differance is even more.

1.You've been registered for nearly a year and still don't realize foci and contour zetecs have the same HP?
2.H22 have more horsepower, not a lot more torque, and the only reason they make civics,accords,preludes so fast is because of how light the cars are. MAny of the other typical engine swaps for hondas just get up to our stock HP level.
3.What doesn't make sense about his time?
4.We're talking about zetecs here.
