S38 camshafts

Post by Preyupy »

Does anyone know the correct markings for the S38 camshafts? I have a pair that I believe are S38B36 cams but only have the numbers stamped on the pulley end of the cams to go by. One is marked 4790 D on the drive end and has a #4 stamped in just behind the front bearing journal. The other cam is marked 4590 D on the drive end and has a #2 stamped just behind the front bearing journal. They look new but I know nothing else about them. I have a spare B35 engine that I have not taken apart yet so I can't check the numbers on those cams right now.

Thanks for the help
