Yes! Cambelt can be replaced but you will need to get a ZETEC timing kit with your new timing belt..Ford no longer provides timing marks on the zetec engine so without this kit dont attempt it. You can pick this kit up directly off the internet for around 12 to 14-quid..dont Buy one from garage or parts shop as they will sting you for 40-70 quid!..Trust me on this, as i have already been through it..When you get the kit you will know how lock the CAMS and get the right TDC..Hope this little bit of info helps.
