Default Standard Cams Markings ???

As i have the escos in pieces at the, how do i tell if it has standard cams in ?? What are the normal markings ?

It looks to me like they might be aftermarket ones.

they do have Ford logos as part of the casting on both of them as std, but not suire if you can get unground ford ones that can then be ground to your own spec, IIRC there were no numbers on them..

Between cyl lobes 1+2 they have FORD, and 2 (space) 2 on other side between lobes.
Just rear from lobes cyl 2 they have markings of H and just before lobes for cyl 3 they have 6.
Between cyl lobes 3+4 they have LYD4, and on other side they have YN0011
Hope this helps, there is plenty of metal if they need a regrind to different profile.

I just had another look, they have the ford stamps

The Cams are

Inlet Side LYD 1

Exhaust LYD 5

I presume then these are standard, althought the look almost new with hardly any wear on the, i know the engine was rebuilt a couple of years
back.

Standard markings, may have been reprofiled though, but most peoiple that do these reprofiles do put a mark on to denote this, easiest way to tell is to measure the lift, when installed.
