Ok, I've looked for this and I dont know if I'm blind or just havn't looked in the right spot. So I'm just going to ask it here, and you get point me in the right direction (sorry).

I'm replacing the head-gasket in my KA and get everything off got the head torqued down and I go to put the cams back on and it hits me, I've no idea which is the exhaust side and which is the intake(my stupid *** didnt mark them like a good mechanic....), and the guide I am using (Chiltons) doesnt say either. I do know that one cam has a red mark about half way or so down the cam, and the other has a green mark on it as well. i figure these signify that I am needing, but as i said the book doesnt say which is which . So, a simply question for you guys....which is which?

Green is intake; red is exhaust (cool air in, hot air out).

There should be green on the intake side of the head too. Kinda a clue.
