i am talking about the 89-91 b16a1 cams not the 92+ cams.....whats the difference with the 89+ b16a1 cams and the 94+ gsr cams?

func-tion

It looks really close. The gsr has 2 ridges on the edge of the umm "ring" while the b16's dont. Thats the only diff i can see.

Is it me or do the 96+gsr cams look almost identical to the 92-93 b17a cams? other then the thicker rings.

I bought a set of suposed gsr cams and then once i got them they looked like this, and the pics i checked said they were from a 92-93 b17a. So i took them to a engine building place to measure the cams. and they gave me this info:

Intake: 155 275 203
Exhaust: 145 248 195

I have no idea what they are but now i at least have #'s...even tho they don't help me cuz i don't know what they mean....

Here, take a look at this....

B17 intake cam :: single groove on outer ring




*supposedly* a 96+ GSR intake cam :: double grooves on outter ring



re-check your GSR cam against these images and let us know what you find

lord of the cam rings.

my cam matches the second picture, has two groves on the outter ring.
