how can you tell if it is type s cams or not?

 

good question... cuz all camshafts look almost identical...... if not are....

 

compare the min/max diameter on the vtec lobes to stock, type-s have more lift and a part number I'll have to look up...

 

help

 

PRELUDE BB-6 TYPE-S CAMSHAFT (IN) 14111-P5P-J00 <part numbers
PRELUDE BB-6 TYPE-S CAMSHAFT (EX) 14121-P5P-J00

Type-S cams have 12.2mm intake and 11.2 exhaust. This equates to .480" intake and .440" exhaust. The H22A S adopts high performance camshafts with more valve overlap and higher lifts as follows:

Valve timing*
Normal H22A, "S" H22A
Intake opening (BTDC)
15 15
Intake closing (ABDC)
40 45
Exhaust opening (BBDC)
40 45
Exhaust closing (ATDC)
15 15

Valve lift* Normal H22A, "S" H22A
Intake (mm)
11.5 12.2
Exhaust (mm)
10.5 11.2

*Honda's valve timing/lift are measured at 1-mm lift

There is help. now go and help yourself, get a micrometer and take some initiative. And use "type cam" for the search field in the archived posts on this page: https://honda-tech.com/zerosearch and you will find a bunch of posts concerning this same question...
