Default how do identify type s cams?

wondering if anyone knew how to identify jdm type s cams or had the specs for them. My friend bought a h22 head for his prelude and dude claimed its a stock jdm head. It came with cams as well so out of curisousity we were wondering if the cams were jdm or not. Anyone help us out?

IIRC there's a difference between "JDM" cams and the Type-S cams.

that is correct.. (insert Chris Farley voice and Billy Madison stripping scene images)

The only way to tell the difference is measuring them. Its been asked 1000x and Ive seen reports of them being a bluish color, but theres no sure fire way without measurement.

BTW... odds of them being Type S are just about none. Most guys with a type S dont abandon their cams and sell them. But, many falsely advertise them...

The type S stuff is nothing like the Type R stuff of integras. Its actually rare...
