i will be shortly receiveing my type s cam that i bought used, i was just wondering if some can help me identify if the cams are type s? any marks or part #'s?? just want to make sure that they are type s when they get here and not any other cams, just don't want to get rip off, thanks for the feedback

 

get a set of calipers and measure the lobes.

Otherwise take this question to your local Honda dealership's parts department.

yep because they sold a few type s's here in the states.

 

i know that the part #'s will have p13 in it, but i'm buying them used, it will not come with any part #'s or in it's wrap bag, just wondering if there is anything that i can tell from the both type s and my stock camshaft, because from the stock gsr and b16 cams, the type r have rings engrave on the ends of the cams to tell that it is type r, so i was just wondering what mark does the type s will have that the stock h22 cam will not have to tell between the two, if anyone out there bought some type s cams or have some, your help will be thankful, thanks for the replys

The honda parts department will know if and where a part number is located. Do you think Type S cams have part numbers in a different place than stock cams? They are all manufactured in Japan anyway.

I mentioned this before, in your first post of this same question. You need to get a set of calipers and measure the height of the vtec lobes.

The height of the Type S cam lobes should be something like 1.5 mm higher(correct me if I am wrong) than your stock camshaft vtec lobes.
