it's a straight swap...and it makes quite a difference to the performance of an ickle 1.2

it's definately worth doing...a 1.2 with filter, zorst, 1.3sr cam will keep up with 1.3sr's

now you see... swapping the cam being a straight swap would be easy enough if i know what the cam even looked like...
chuck a sack o pc bits at me and i could have one up n running in 10 minutes but engines... oooooh no...

I swapped my cam last weekend, well, with a little bit of help from CP ;) It's not that difficult a job, but if you're unsure, get a mechanic to do it, or someone you know who you trust to do a good job. You could always fit it yourself and then take it down to the garage to get the timing sorted.
