Hi guys,
I brough an engine about a year ago, it was sold as having hks 272 cams in it with a lift of 11.5 but im not sure if they are HKS at all as my own HKS ones had the stamp HKS and 264 on them quite clearly.
Now I have taken some pictures for you to see and I was just wondering are these just stock ones? how could I tell for sure would I have to measure the lobes? im a bit clueless on how to measure them. They also dont look in that good condition realy and seem to have developed some surface rust even though I did try and coat them in some thick oil what could I do? would polishing help as I have noticed the same light rust on some of the crank :bounce:
They have N1466 stamped on them with 5 on one and 12 on the other, plus a 53J.
