It should have some yellow paint on one end as well.

The paint should still be visible. My 100K LT1 cam still showed red.

Ok I figured out how to tell if you don't have the cam card......

24502586 This is the GM part number for the LT4 Hotcam, the last three numbers are the same as the first 3 numbers on the second line in the grind number. :cheers:
