I took my motor apart and had my cams reground and dot have any marks to set my timing back to how it was. I bought a Haynes manual and had someone help me do my timing who had done it before. Lined everything up and turned the motor over a few rotations and have no issues but then I noticed my lobes from my intake side and my exhaust side are all lined up together. So my intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. So we pulled the cams to get a better look. One is marked yellow and the other green. Except they're identical. Length, lobes, blah blah blah. These came out of my running car. I referenced my manual and it says they're both intake. So I referenced my other ka, I have 4 identical cams. So my question is how do I time my motor with 2 intake cams? I know it's possible because it ran until I pulled the motor. Pictures, videos, links, input anything will help. Thank you! It's out of a 95 of that makes a difference, all new timing set, chains, tensioners, gears.

It's been awhile since I've looked at KA cams, so I don't remember the color scheme, but the lobes will match exactly between exhaust and intake cams. However, the dowl pin location on the front of the cam that fits the cam sprocket will be at a different location radially between the two. Are they the same on your cams?
