Title: Camshaft identification
Post by: albitz on 22 June 2011, 00:49:45

3.0 cams are G+A ? but what letters denote 3.2 cams ?
I may (hopefully) be selling mine soon, and would like to be sure I can identify the inlet/exhaust and their markings beforehand to assist a buyer with fitting.

Has it had any work done on it? Is there any history? 3.0 cams, the G's are inlets, A is exhaust, if R is exhaust on 3.2 then someones c0cked up refitting them  ;D

(Reply number 8 there which implies those numbers are all 'blanks' numbers and you're looking for a different number ..)

No history to speak off, but the engine gave the distinct impression that it hadnt been apart at any time. ;)

From what I saw of it I'm not convinced the oil filter or cap had ever been off :-X :-X :o :o

You did a very very good thing Aaron - sorted now. :y
I have two G cams - inlet I believe (same as on 3.0)
And two J cams - exhaust I believe (only from 3.2 engine, I think) :y
