Right now the head is in the truck but I plan to pull the plenum and pop the valve cover. From there I can change out cams.... Are there marks I can look for? Any ideas? 1994+1995 Montero SR 2003 Montero Limited 1990 Mighty Max 6G72 4x4 2014 Outlander Sport (Wife) 1992 Galant VR4 (724) 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo RS - (SOLD) + Other Non Mitsu's Re: How to Tell which cam is Exhaust and which is Intake?

TOASTY Trail Leader PA_JERO, CAP510 and Canyonero have all had this problem due to the machine shop mixing the cams up. Try contacting PA_JERO he's got engines laying around to look at. 1999 Montero SAS'd on Kings and stuff 1998 Montero trying to get a V8 Swapped Re: How to Tell which cam is Exhaust and which is Intake?

[Re: JoeBurt] #1071853 05/21/14 05:24 PM Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 62 Colorado A azazel OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Here is my theory...hope its right. On the passenger side bank, the manual says you need to hold the cam sprockets when installing the T-belt. Yet, I didn't need to do this. Considering that I have spark, fuel and timing correct I am thinking I reversed the cams. I looked at the pics...I am going to compare them to my spare set of Cam's and see if I can find the smoking gun. 1994+1995 Montero SR 2003 Montero Limited 1990 Mighty Max 6G72 4x4 2014 Outlander Sport (Wife) 1992 Galant VR4 (724) 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo RS - (SOLD) + Other Non Mitsu's Re: How to Tell which cam is Exhaust and which is Intake?

They should be under spring tension from the valves. I would definitely double check the timing before you rip everything apart just in case.
