I need help identifying the cams that came with my B16 head. All the threads I found discussing cams seem to use the same images, and after a lot of searching, I'm still unsure what they are. They have two fat rings, and one engraved ring at the top.
The one image that matched my cams labeled them as B17 cams, but other images show all GS-R cams as having three rings.

 

96+ GSR cams

 

Thanks for the reply. Totally sure though? Any second, third, etc opinions?

 

I found another thread that suggests these might be B16 automatic cams. I think there's a lot of confusion from people buying engines that have already been modified, and people being fraudulently sold cams. I'm surprised all this isn't thoroughly documented by now.

Mine aren't listed on that page. Another page (http://www.b20vtec.com/forums/genera...-you-have.html) has mine listed as B17 (GS-R) cams. Both pages also show B17 cams as having three rings, so one of the photos is wrong.

 

At least one of these photos are mislabeled.

So, after searching through ads for P72 heads, Ive been able to ID the cam with three rings is in fact the 94+ GS-R cam. Mine must be from a B17. Which, makes sense considering I've found way more cams with three rings than two.

So photos 2 and 3 are WRONG! They should be pulled from all stickied threads for identifying cams!

 

So, next question. How do these cams perform? I've heard:

-Same as second gen B16 cams.

-In between B16 and B18C1 cams.

-Same as B18C1 cams.

 

Same as b18c1 cams.
