Re: camshaft identification?? (BlueTeg)

stock b16 camshafts = 0 "o-ring" looking circles t the end of the camshaft
ITR cams = 1 "o-ring" looking circle on ends of cams
CTR cams = 2 "o-ring" looking cirlces on ends of cams

what i mean by "o-ring" looking circles is that the shafts look like they have a manufactured groove for an o-ring.

also, 2001 ITR cams are equivalent to CTR cams.

you can see the 2 rings on the very end of this CTR camshaft

hope that helped, peace!
