Is This An 1.6 B6D Camshaft ?!

[DamirGTI 342]

My mates car arrived for some repairs , the engine is an 1.9 DKZ but the camshaft is certainly from another engine not the DKZ nor D6B .. so i wonder if it's a 1.6 B6D or maybe 1.9 DFZ , as i do not have any data for the later two engines and nothing to compare to , does anyone recognize this one by the paint markings on the camshaft :

 

 

 

The one fitted on the engine has two white paint rings on the camshaft near the timing pulley end , while the other one which i fitted next to it up top is a 1.9 D6B (two brown ring markings on the flywheel end side of the cam)

 

Is this a 115bhp 1.6 B6D camshaft maybe ?!

 

Thanks !

Do you have a reference that covers all the paint marks etc to identify cams?

 

From what I remember, a giveaway on 115hp 1.6 GTi cams is that they have a chamfer on the lobe edges which 1.9 ones don't have. On worn cams (which 1.6's seem to suffer from more than 1.9's for some reason) they're often worn back so that the chamfer isn't there!

A b6d cam should have 2 paint rings between the 3e cilinder in and exhaust valve.

The d6b cam should have the 2 paint rings between the 1e cylinder in land exhaust valve.

I've only seen the chamfer on earlier 1.6s up to phase 2. After that they don't have a chamfer so there is no visual difference. As Anthony mentioned most earlier 1.6 cams are worn past the chamfer, softer material possibly, which is maybe why they were changed.

Interesting , i have one cam from an 1.9 DFZ engine (which is also non standard for that engine/head , but it's in a really good nick) and that one has chamfered edges , has no paint ring markings and the lobes are much more smaller than all the XU cams which i've seen till today ! wonder if that one is a 1.6 , maybe from an early 1.6 180A engine ?! but still the lobes are so small that i doubt it .

 

Will take a photo of that one ..
