Identifing Honda B-Series Camshafts

Well we recently dynoed a car, (it was actually my car),  that we thought had itr camshafts, when in fact it did NOT. This made me realize that there are probably a ton of cars riding around with a different camshaft than what they think they have. So I decided to post a link to a thread that really helped me identify what was in my car.

Here is where the information can be found.

I hope these pictures really help out in identifying your B-Series Camshafts.

GSR 96+ spec intake CAM
