I've stripped my 320 engine after a broken rocker arm, the camshaft is junk.

I have access to a good 325 camshaft. I know it's different - but can someone tell me if the cam from the 2.5 will be OK for the 2.0 ?

thank you

Thanks, but I'd already read that. I know the cam is physically interchangeable. But will the different profile affect the running?
Can anyone help ?
Thanks again.

iirc ( posting from work here ) the valve length are different B20 to B25 so I'd suggest NO don't fit the B25 stick in the B20
