I recently bought a cam from another board member...i had teh part number ready but there isnt a part number stamped on the cam...He also threw the box away to the cam....There are numbers stamped on the end of the cam, could someone with a hot cam out of their car please look at the end of theirs and tell what the numbers are stamped on yours??? i just wanna make sure i got what i payed for...thanks guys!!!

 

well whats stamped on your cam? i dont have a hotcam but the numbers might tell somethin.

 

342 99R

586 FM49 with a green dot

 

I believe the 586 denotes the last 3 digits of the hotcam GM p/n...

 

my cam has "110 97L" stamped on teh end of it....please dont tell me i got ripped

 

i don't know, but wanted to add that i had a CompCams 270h in a 85' 350 SB, and it had 270h stamped on the end of it, so maybe this could help, but i doubt CC makes one w/ that #.

 

someone please help me here...im getting nervous....

 

there are two sets of numbers on my cam. I beleive that the top/or 6 digit number is a lot/ or product # the lower 7 digit code is the cam id #

 

if you have a micrometer, you can check the lobes of the cam

 

the only thing is a micrometer wont tell me the duration, or LSA....lift is lift....alto of cams have the same lift as teh HOT cam...does an LS1 cam look alot different? I found in pace performace a LS1 ASA cam that ends in teh parts number "110"...does an LS1 cam have the mechanical fuel pump lobe and a gear for a distributer???

 

call your local chev dealership, and ask if that part number is for a hot cam, they should be happy to help

someone has to have a hot cam sittin around that isnt installed yet....this is really starting to bug me,,,i hope i didnt get ripped

 

186 98L
586 WB11

Are the #'s on mine..

I believe the 186 98L and WB11 are production run #'s, etc, and the 586 is the last 3 digits of the hotcam p/n[ as I previously stated]
I would say if it doesn't have '586' on the back end, stamped in, it isn't a hot cam.. the other #'s seem to vary.. and are rather random.. but the 586 is consistent..
Hope this helps..

 

see this cam doesnt have any other numbers stamped on the bacside, it only has the "110 97L"....could somebody else confirm that it needs the 586 to be a HOT cam....maybe Injuneer (Fred) knows somthin about this or how i could find out.....if i have to drive 3 hours to take this cam back im gonna be upset...

 

ok i posted my #'s off my cam and Mtrhds94Z posted his, both have 586 at the begining of the bottom set of #'s. You seem to be only reading the top set because you keep giving a 6 diget code
