Camshaft question

Post by unknownmale »

I bought a second hand EX head a few weeks ago, I assumed it had standard Camshaft in it although it had clearly been out.

Just received my DX camshaft in the post and both seem to have around 10mm of lift and what looks like the same duration.

I always thought the DX "G" stamped camshaft was higher lift and longer duration...Hence why I bought it. Unless of course the camshaft in my EX head is also a DX camshaft?

Although it's stamped with an "L" Not a "G"

Can anyone shed some light on this?
