#66841 :? usually aftermarket cams have some sort of distinction. For example...HKS = Purply colour,
Skunk2=Laser engraved retard points with S2 written on it somewhere

and so on...

not to sure about ebay types, you could always post up a detailed pic and someone should know

#67001 my only guess for that would be JUN cams, but I have no idea. I cant think of another cam maker that uses J...

#67018 I'm such an idiot, I could of swore you said cam gears in my mind lol
There's hardly any way of telling what cams are what, that's why many people have issues with "type-r" lookalike cams. As far as I know you would have to measure the cam lobes and cam angle and compare to manufacture specs. JDMChick might know about the skunk2 cams as she's recently got a set. she might be able to confirm if they have an form of engraving on them :)

#67230 What motor do you have?

I believe the ones you have are stock. I just ran out and dug a set of gsr cams out of a box, one had a G and the other had an H. I can't remember what the opposite stamps were tho. let me know what motor and i'll go find a set and let you know.
