Hello, been a while since needing to post.

I recently purchased a rather modded DSM, and I popped the valve cover off today to check out the cams,
and I found that I cannot identify them...

I have searched for a while, and can't come up with an answer, it's also odd that both intake/exhaust have the same stamps.

R9 & 04.

Anyone else familiar?

Yup, those are the only markings. They do look rather aged, so I guess I will just have to assume they are stockish camshafts from some other manufacturer.
My thinking is that, if these were some performance cams, they would at least have a name or obvious marker.
I'm going to be changing the belt, so I will get the gears off, and see if any marker is present there, doubtful though.
 
Have you taken the cam gears off to see any marks on the inside face?
 
I did turn the engine over by hand. Nothing special. I will be taking the gears off soon.

Raymond, you 100% on that, that's actually what I thought KIA or Hyundai. I read that someone had some R3 or R5 cams, and that Hyundai marked them as such.
