Hi Guys
This might sound weird... but how do you tell the difference between a 276 estas cam and a 288 estas cam? Is there anything visually different?
I’m in the process of getting a 288 cam so don’t want to get bluffed in the process.
Thanks

The duration should be engraved or stamped in on the rear of the cam.

I currently have a 276 estas cam which I bought brand new with no stamp or markings at all.

There is somewhere a colour chart I have seen on the internet, where a paint colour marking is between the lobes on cylinder no:4 that depicts the duration too.
