i have just removed a cam from the head on my engine due to 2 cam buckets letting go lol i need help to identify it .
the markings on the end are= 36 then what looks like an upside down v followed by bz anyone know ?
thanks

i have measured the cam lobe and from side to side it measures 30.8mm
and from bottom to lobe top is 39.4mm
measured with digi calipers.

Hmmm! That's only 8.6mm. lift (0.339") which is less than a standard cam. Go measure it again.

That gives a notional lift of 8.6 mm Tony, which equates to 0.338" which is slightly less than a standard cam at 0.360"

I doubt they made a 'cool' cam for the super efficient green tuning brigade so would hazard a guess that its a slightly worn standard cam...
