Cam type
 

Hi All,

I've just acquired a b18 d donor engine for some work over the winter leading to a transplant operation. The cam has got s772 and what looks like an x and o etched on beside it. Could anyone tell me please what type of cam this is?

Thanks

Can't tell from those numbers. They usually have the letter stamped on the back end. Probably a C in your case.

Right about those numbers probably being useless, however
"D" engines, with CR equal to "A" engines but with 2 carbs, had A cams, never originally C...

True. I misread that as a B18b. Early d engines unusual here now in the UK just due to them being fitted in cars up to about '63-'64.
