how to differentiate b16b & b16a cam?

[evoX2]

may i know how to differentiate B16B cam with B16A or B18C cam by just looking at it?

I think the R cam has extra grooves.. on the ends near the distributor.. B16A one has none..

How to differentiate B18C/B16B? That one not so sure.. haven't seen B16B cams. B18C oso haven't seen one for a long time already..

With prices being they are.. better go for aftermarket.. cheaper ler.

yes the b16b intake cam has 2 engrave rings, but be careful, i heard b16a cam for automatic transmission simillar to b16b cams..
best way is to measure the highest lobe of its cam.. IMO..
b16b(intake) highest lobe is 36.8 mm (same as b18cr 2000/2001 spec)
b18cr(intake) 98spec highest lobe is 36.6 mm
b16a(intake) way shorter than those 2 mentioned above.

wahahaha sorry if my data isnt accurate, coz thats what i can remember.. :)
