define what you wanna do with your "rebuild"

i would like to stop it from smoking, i would like to put aftermarket rods and pistions in. and beef it up just a bit incause i do deside to turbo.

well you better decide what you wanna do cause you will want to do very different c/r pistons depending on if you're going to go with n/a or forced induction

i might just use the crower springs and retainers and find a different cam.

[btleier]

I've heard nothing but good things about the crower cam for hondas... also people have good luck with the skunk2 cams.

[bluejays]

does anybody know where i could find them for cheaper without going on ebay??

Talk to focus guys... www.focaljet.com and www.focusfanatics.com

Crower seems to be the most popular cam for the focus. See a lot of guys using them and havent heard much complaint about them at all. You will find a lot of Zetec guys using them... no SVT guys because the SVT cams are still being worked on. So best bet is to check out Zetec forums... if you wanna ask them about their cams.
