Odd Looking Cam...

[madspikes 41 1 Cars]

I have four 8v cams... 3 look very similar if not the same bar what looks to be a year marking, the forth is however different (lower cam).

 

See pictures:

 

 

 

The forth cam has clearly rounded off on the sides on the lobes, and the pulley end is machined slightly differently. It has the markings 98x, D1, 122 and 5 at various locations.

 

Can anyone shed any light on this cam? Is it a 1.6 cam, after market whats the deal?

 

Thanks

Its a 1.6 cam, found on pre 91 cars, more prone to wear in my experience.

Use this picture to help. You will need to identify the faint orange/brown rings on the cam.

As said a early 1.6 cam

I didnt expect the early 1.6 cams to look so different, I just expected it to have different markings.

 

Thanks for the quick replys, I wanted a 1.9 cam anyway, so I'll use one of the others.
