Default Help identfy my mystery cams

I recently replaced my cams with s2s2. i didnt know anything about integras when i bought the car ( to me) but hey i this is one of those lessons right. when life hands you a lemon, dont write a check and drive off with it. back to the topic, i thought that my cams were stock gsr, but when my mech gave everything back i found out that i had crower dual valve springs, ti retainers, and some mystery cams with no real distinguishing characteristics. there is a letter "E" on one, and a "G" on the other. any ideas? i would like to know what they are so i can sell them and install my eagle rods and b16 pistons. thanks

Yeah you'll probably need to take pics. I know Crower normally stamps there cams so even though the valvetrain is crower the cams may not.

I'll give you a set of stock B16 bumps for them.
Seriously though, no idea what they are. That E stamp could be the stamp for the exhaust cam (incase you didn't notice the lack of a distributor notch), but I don't know what that G could mean.
Maybe they are custom grind cams from HK? that's what I'd sell them on EBay as.

here are some pics as promised of the mystery cams. just a little backround info, these cams produced decent power with vtec set at 4500, they pulled all the way to redline. i have no idea what so ever what they could be. btw these cams were probably bought around 95ish

They must be OEM, cause if you look at the primary lobes one is thinner than the other, and also one the of the primary's looks like it has less lift than the other(like OEM). I guess they could have just modified the vtec lobe. They look like OEM castings to me.

i think they are stock because SKUNK2 has a marking on the distributor side of the cam identifing what cam it is.

not a bad idea, is that something that i can do with a caliper? the duration would be a little tricky though...
