    Hi all

    Based in visual inspection how does one differentiate between manual and auto cams, different numbers?

    and also from an earlier post:


    Colour bands are -

    Auto intake - yellow
    Auto exhaust - blue/green

    Manual intake - blue/green
    Manual exhaust - blue/green

    Blue/green is the same colour. I've seen a few sets of cams now. Sometimes the bands look blue, sometimes green.
    Not just in photos. Maybe something to do with what they were washed in? Or oil types?
    Doesn't matter, all that matters is they're not yellow.
