Camshaft Identification

Post by tjbates »

I bought a camshaft off a DDK member a while back and i'm now thinking of using it in an engine.

The only issue is that i'm not 100% certain what the cam is (apart from it's a 356/912 cam).

The seller told me that he thinks it was a Benton Performance Street Cam, but he was not 100% either.

I have attached some photos; if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Even if somebody can tell me how to measure the duration, lift, etc. just so I know what i've got that would be brill.

Thanks,

Tom

Going off the markings, R0200 5, I think there is some discussion about your cam here
