Hey people I know this question has been asked before, and yes I did search and read ALL the related threads, but are stock focus cams interchangable with the contour zetec? I am dead broke right now and am trying to get some CHEAP mods, and I was thinking I might be able to get some stock focus or focus SVT cams in good shape from a junkyard and drop them in. I saw about two years ago in '04 someone asked about dropping stock focus cams in, and the discussion arose as to whether or not it would work with the hydraulic lifters in contour pre '98 zetecs (which I have). Some people said yes, some people said no, and others said it would require using shims to make them fit. However, no definitive answer arose from the discussion. Has anyone actually done this? If so, what were the results? Anyone's thoughts, experiences or knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks.
