Yes, there is a difference between 1.8 and 1.6 cams in a Ford Escort Zetec. The 1.8 cams typically have a different lift and duration compared to the 1.6 cams, which can impact engine performance and power output. Upgrading to 1.8 cams can provide improved performance, especially at higher RPMs, but may also require additional modifications to optimize the engine's overall efficiency. Always consider compatibility with other engine components when making such changes.
