Cam identity

blind-dog-birtles · Feb 15th, 2009, 21:51

I'm currently building a B18 engine, which is to go into an amazon rally project, I have on the shelf 3 cams which I'm trying to identify with a view to using one of them. The markings on the cams are as follows-

cam1. "D1 OBT10 made in USA C1 CWC H1" & "R" stamped on the end

cam2. "D2 1Q10 C2 V04-1 CWC" & "A210 MR3" stamped on the end

cam3. "1000074 LYD3 T 2BOT"

I've searched previous posts, & seen all the lists of cams available, but these markings mean nothing to me. The R on the end of the 1st cam could identify it as a type R cam, but other than that I'm guessing.
Can anyone help me in my choice?

Here's a list of camshaft grinds. Maybe this can help you out.

Cheers B20F for the reply, I had already printed that list off, but few of the digits match up with the cams I have on the shelf, The MR3 according to the list may be a little too hot for the B1800 so I'm trying to identify (with difficulty) the other two.
