Is there any diffrence between a 1.6 & 1.9 cam if so can you tell just by looking? :)

There's a slight difference in profiles yes, not sure you can tell by looking, whether there's part numbers/markings etc on them though.

I have been looking into this recently as I think I may have fitted a 1.6 cam to my 1.9.

 

The early 1.6 cams are easy to spot as they have chamfered lobes. The later 115bhp 1.6 cams have around 5 degrees less duration and I have had mixed opinions regaring whether or not it will make any difference.

 

I have a late 1.6 cam and a 1.9 cam on my bench in the garage and I 'll be damned if I can see a difference.
