The only way I know of is you have to measure the lobes.

I've heard of a number of scams where people sell regular H22 cams as Type S.

no way to tell by looking at them. they are a bit bigger than the US ones. i bought a set and the only way to tell is with a reciept, or comparing them side by side.

Most machine shops will be able to measure lift and duration for you.

I would think maybe using a digital caliper you could see a size difference in the lobes, but I myself have never measured Type-S cams to compare to stock.
