I've just posted the below in the thread 'omega running problems- help me !!!!!' and thought it warranted a new thread. Anyone any comments?


My cams are stamped at the rear end, away from the sprockets.

Inlet N
Exhaust D

I wasn't sure I had them the right way round so I went out and checked again and I've got 3 N's and 1 D. There is also a number stamped in the middle of the cams and 3 they have F and 1 has E stamped in the middle. Could I have 3 inlet and 1 exhaust cam???

Would it run??

Mine is a 1997 2.5 v6

I saw a post saying inlet was F, exhaust E and for 3l inlet G exhaust A.

I'm not sure myself, though i'm certain someone will be along soon with an answer.  

Mark has covered V6 camshaft ID in the maintenace guides section if that helps you, you can find it here.

Sorry i can't be of more help.

That's where I saw the E and F mentioned. I know it's the first time the cams have been out and I've had no complaints about performance in the 9 years I've had it. I always put the slugishness below 3,000 revs down to a combination of the automatic gearbox and it not really generating a lot of torqu until 3,000 revs but now I'm wondering. The front three lifters in the exhaust bank with the suspected inlet cam in were duff and I always thought that a bit too much of a coincidence.
