hey zilvia. i've been a long time lurker and the wealth of knowledge on here is amazing. so i joined. i have a question for ya.
i am a little puzzled at id'ing some cams i have. i could use a little help from you guys and gals. i have 3 sets of cams. one set were the oem s14 cams that were in my blown engine, another set i got from Matej. i believe they are oem s13 cams. well the third set i got from a guy who sold me a super clean s13 head. when i went back to pick up the cam caps i forgot he asked if i wanted the cams for free since he didnt need them. i said sure. he didnt know what they were from. he didnt even know that the head he sold me was an s13 not an s14. anyway all that leads up to this. the cams look way different than oem ones. there appears to be ground down cast lines on the sides. the casting numbers dont have your typical circle around them. and the numbers at the end of the cam that usually say "53F" are different. on the intake it says "33F" and the exhaust says "IE4." any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. one more thing, there are no manufacturer stamps anywhere.
