Beagler Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 How do I know if mine is one. Its a 20019 1.6 Sigma recently upgraded to a 310S The old cams came back in piper boxes which will be the cams that were fitted by Gatwick during upgrade.

K7 VCT Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 How is your engine cover fitted, 3 bolts or 4 rubber caps, 4 caps means Ti-vct and you will have solenoids at the cambelt ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagler Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 its black plastic with the 4 rubber cappingsAre these the solenoids at the forward end of cam cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Definitely a ti-vct one then, you willhave 4 wired connections one to each corner of the cams cover area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Indeed it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisfl Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 100% agree. Defo a VCT.Yes those ears at the rad end of the engine are the solenoids, with the plugs coming out, just as K7 saidAlso you said your car is a 2019? The last fixed cam cars were sold in 2015ish. Late 2015/16 is when CC switched over to the Ti-VCT after Ford stopped production of the older unit - emissions... It's also when they dropped roadsport and went over to 270/310 convention introduced the S & R option packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 2014 Academy cars (supplied late 2013-early 2014) were TiVCT. Not sure if they continued to supply the earlier engine for road cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 From your description, even without looking at the picture, it's definitely a Ti-VCT - the fixed-cam Sigma can't be upgraded to 310 spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisfl Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Ive heard there was old stock around in 2014/15. Mine is a 2014 kit and is Ti-VCT. Makes sense for academy cars to all have the newer lump at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
