Ok my buddy picked up a set of cams the otherday. But he doesnt know what kind of cams they are. They were free. They are definitly aftermarket though. Both are marked with a M in the middle. But one of them has a 2 in the same spot as the M but on the other side. What kind of cams could these be????

Look for engraving marks.

 

nope nothing on them, the only markings on them are the m on one and the m and 2 on the other

 

i also have a set of these that i got with a cylinder head and the kid i bought the head from didnt know what they were. he thought maybe skunk 2 stage 1's, but didnt know for sure.

they have the "M" and "2" markings on them also just like the ones pictured above. i called skunk2 and the lady didnt think they were skunk camshafts. she said theirs have H01 markings on them. but i got the feeling she really didnt know much about what i was asking.

i just quickly checked the lift of them with a verinier and i got .446" and .427" figuring a 1.55 rocker ratio. mine also have two grooves on the end of each cam.

 

yea it would be nice to know of these cams were anything special or not.

they *look* bigger than stock, not OEM for sure and not Skunk2's if they aren't marked on the end.

 

yea they definitly arent stock for sure

 

those look like honda v-tec cams...

lol, hey he's just helping

 

I think they're skunk2 cams. Use to have some like that. With same markings m/s. I'm pretty sure they're the oldskool skunk stage 1s. They didn't have any markings on the ends of the old ones.

 

ya they might be the old cams before they actually had stages they just had 1 set of cams, but i am not 100% on that
