Default hot cam numbers

can anyone tell me what the numbers are on the end of the hot cam. I bought one used & I'm just double checking to make sure I got the right cam. The numbers I have are 01903R & 586FM58

Thanks.



Happy St. Pats

if the anser can't be determined, you can always have the cam tested on a "cam doctor".....check in your area for a machine shop that might have one. if you can't find any, email me and i'll give you the info on a place in PA that has one.

by the way, are you sure you even want a used cam?

A hydraulic roller cam will show virtually 0 wear, if it was run properly of course.

the cam is supposed to have only 1500 miles on it. If it was 15k I probably wouldn't have bought it.
