So i just bought a CA that was just about all the way apart. I am not sure which cam is which. Is there a marking or any sort of indicator that shows which is the exhaust cam and which is the intake cam?
Thanks in advance!

Lick em.

Exhaust cam tastes like chocolate.


It also has a drive gear in the front if you look, but that's cheating! :nono:

and the intake tastes like butterscotch!

The exhaust cam, if you look at the part where the cam gear bolts on, in the middle of the hole on the end, has a keyed shaft that the CAS slides into.
