The slotted one is the intake cam. Here's info on how to do a cam install...

Thank you sir

One last question, does anyone know what the crossed out R means (first pic). Is this marking normal on toda cams?

my spec B's dont have a R x'd out of them...you might want to call toda and ask them if that is a fake or something that they might have done by mistake

That "R" is weird - neither of my Todas have that. Looks like they accidentally engraved an R instead of a B then crossed it out (every toda cam I've seen has the spec "x" letter engraved on the top of the end of the cam, not the bottom like on your exhaust cam from what I have seen). It could just be a fluke but seeing as though toda has dealt with people selling knock-offs I'd give them a call.

I read the bulletin on the Toda site http://www.todaracing.com/topi....html, and the difference between the VTEC lobe and the primary and secondary lobes is minimal. I've sent an email to Toda, hoping these cams aren't fake

Mines also don't have such marking. Also, the marking of "B" looks like different as mines..........Is it fake?
Toda cam should comes with an instruction which shows the correct action angel, installation guide etc.

Can't tell from your picture, I got some pictures view from the side and pictures of B against Civic R (PCT), you can review the loop..

PCT against B, PCT on the left and B on right, significant difference
