What cams do i have?

Hi guys,

i've been searching around all different sites online trying to work out what camshafts i have

I have 2 pairs, one set that cam with my spare head (i was told by the seller they were standard b16a ones)

SET ONE:

The second pair i got them thrown in with a bunch of other parts i purchased, again i was told by this seller that they are type R

SET TWO:

can anyone identify these and set me straight.

Thanks

can't identify them,

but if you have :

get a pair of verniers, look in service manual or online,,

and measure the lobes ends and maybe there will be pics accompanying them

good luck

Fingers crosses for ctr cams bro. Much tougher

just out of curiosity, how does one identify camshafts by looking at the ends?

98+ audm/jdm ctr and itr are the same cams

hitoriko,

I'll answer your PM here as your inbox is full.

TODA B16A/B18C springs are not painted (at all)
The yellow painted springs are OEM ITR/CTR Intake springs / & the blue painted springs are OEM ITR/CTR exhaust springs.
These are fine to go with the CTR/ITR cams you have.
My guess is you have the leftovers from a B-Series cam swap, & the springs are in the Toda box.

Also, there is no such thing as a B-Series Toda Ti retainers,
This is a myth originating from less than well informed magazine journalists etc,

So use Supertech, Portflow or SK2 :thumbsup:

Cheers

Adrian

I was talking about the comparison between B16A and B16B because hitoriko has a JDM B16A swapped into his ED9 bro.

Yeah i was looking on ebay and they are a pretty good price too! i might just get a kit and sell the ITR springs and go from there
just ordered some Supertech Valve Stem Seals so i may aswell get the retainers, guides and springs to match!

Unsure mate, they are titanium but were a used item sold to me cheaply by my engine builder. Valves were also used. Springs new and measured to spec. Cams all new.


Personally I have no problem using second-hand internals. So long as everything is checked beforehand for condition (which I'm sure hitoriko will do!) then it's NP.

agreed - i had a sprinter with a 4age, i sourced all the parts 2nd hand and aslong as you check everything for damage etc.. your fine.

the springs and and retainers are $300 on ebay atm so i might just sell of my type R springs and get some brand new ones :)
