Title: Grey Camshaft Marking Post by: zulu on November 15, 2009, 10:20:38 PM Are Grey motor camshafts marked in any way to distinguish what grind they are?
If not why not ??? is there any way to tell? If they are, where to look Thanks, Gary Title: Re: Grey Camshaft Marking Post by: Trevor_B on November 16, 2009, 12:33:51 PM Hi Gary,
I know Wade Cams stamp the end face (gear end) of the shaft with a number representing their grind profile e.g. 104.

So if I have an unmarked one it's either standard or the shop who did the work on it didn't bother to mark their work Title: Re: Grey Camshaft Marking Post by: FC427 on November 16, 2009, 01:50:41 PM Sounds about right Gary ......
