I pulled one of the most amature moves EVER...i was reworking on my head on my 93 240sx KA cuz i blew the head gasket...now im putting it all back but forgot which side those stupid cams are supposed to go on....

The orange painted cam is the intake cam or the exhaust cam?...and the green one for inake??? thats what i thought it was....

i was looking around on the forums threads and noticed one person having the green cam on the intake and the orange cam on the exhaust side....but as i kept looking i also found other people having the orange cam on the intake side and the green cam on the exhaust side..they all had s13's from the pics i looked at....now WHICH ONE IS THE CORRECT WAY?! im beating myself up now for not remembering where i took the cams from

no there wasnt but i managed to find an old pic from when i did my timing chain a while back ago and in the pic i had the cams there as well...turns out on my car at least that the green cam was on the intake side and the orange cam was on the exhaust side.
