2G BC 272 camshafts orientation

[Gjallarhorn]

So I am in the process of assembling my head and I noticed that the BC 272 exhaust camshaft that I picked up from their website has what looks to be the slit for the cam angle sensor found on the intake cam on the passenger side ( my car is a 96 7-bolt and it has the cam angle sensor behind the cam gear on the driver side)

I am following the instructions on my Chilton manual and noticed it has a picture that specifically says the "slit" on the camshaft is on the intake side, but when I look at the BC camshaft with the "slit", it is the exhaust side which is stamped on the camshaft

I am leaning towards keeping the stamped camshaft on the exhaust side. Has anybody else had this issue?

You got a wrong set. Those cams are for the late EVO's 4g63. Not for DSM's early 4g63.

Thank you, I literally just came back from my garage and realized the same thing, I am an idiot. I did not see any visible damage on the valves or anything, is there something that this could mess up aside from bent valves maybe?

P.S. my car would not start the first time I put my engine together and this was definitely why smh

So you already cranked the engine with those cams. The cam's dimension is supposed to be the same, so if you didn't bend the valves then I guess you got no damage.

Better do a leakdown test just to be sure. You can't always hear a bent valve and they bend easy.

Will do
