I have a Camshaft that came with an assortment of stuff I was told it was a 286. How do I tell what it is? Is there a way of working it out on the bench? |

wheel.
This may also be a regrind so there will be no marking on the end.
The 286 is the duration but there are exhaust and inlet durations as
well as lift.
Just a comparison - IN/Exh and lift
