Hello , This is my first post and and have done my research and cant find info, so sorry if this has been overlooked. I know that the exhaust cam has a 248 deg and intake 240 deg , now i was just about to install new tensioners and chains as well as the bottom guides on my KA24DE (with double chains). When i noticed a little bit of green on the intake side cam and possibly orange (or rust) on the exhaust side cam , now correct me if im wrong but isnt the exhaust cam supposed to be green and intake cam orange? Any ways its hard to tell with the colors so faded so i was wondering if theres another way to tell the two apart ... Numbers etched on the cam? ETC. thanks alot

check the colorsyou should have an orange and a greenor you should have a I or E on the camsI= intakeE= exhaust

i think the green is for intake and the orange is for exhaust.
