Visual difference - KR & 9A inlet cams

[daves16v 1]

Any markings on the cams to tell the difference? Checked part numbers on Etka but it doesn't give anything away.

 

Cheers.

The KR Cam is a lot more rounded up to the top of the 'point' compared to the 9a

I was hoping for markings cast into the cam itself but thanks anyway.

 

Anyone else?

REALLY EASY TO TELL DIFFERENCE.....kr has bits missing on the bottom of lobes, where as a 9a has smooth lobes.

Turn the cam so the lobes are pressing down on valves and look and the underside of the lobe.

Ah yes I did notice that. Thanks

Thinking of KR camming mine.. but want to make sure I get the correct cam...

Dave, I'm sure that the 9A inlet camshaft has an extra 'M' stamped on it
