    Hey there,picked up an 8v cam that I was told to be a G-Grind. I did some internet searching but was unable to confirm it. Let me know if you can assist.

    Stamped into the cam shaft end is 049J and GAF3. Unfortunately that is all I have to go on.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance

    OK, please note that my measurements are rough. 38mm base, 49mm lobes. Thus 11mm lift. 0.5mm difference between intake and exhaust. Also , much wider lobe profile. See attached photo.

    Also should mention about 19 degrees over 90.
