Wondering if there is any difference in these two cams. I just bought a set of gsr cams that were suposedly out of a 95 gsr. The markings are showing me a B17a cam. I also read that this stuff is the same for both cams:
Intake lift - 10.6mm, Duration - 230 @ 1mm
Exhaust lift - 9.4mm, Duration - 227 @ 1mm

correct me if the info is not right, also tell me the difference, if any between the b18c1 and b17a cams. thanx in advance

 

i thought b17 cams were the same as first gen b16 cams

Here is a pic of the end of the intake cam........what cam is it? Is there any other way to tell what it is other then measuring it? I really don't want 1st gen b16a spec cams

 

I can tell you thats not a 1st gen cam

 

Well they are not 1st gen cams, they look like like b17 cams; but the the ones that 've seen dont have the most outer ring...i donno
b16a and b17 exhaust cams are the same, pri and sec. lobes on the intake are the same, but the mid lobe in the b17 is a little bigger(according to helms)

 

So what is the difference between B17 and B18c1 valves? I also have a set of 1990 b16a cams and these are definately different from the ones i just bought.

anyone else on how i can tell what these cams are?
