Assembling a turbo'd LQ1 in my fiero... how do you tell which cam is exhaust vs intake?
I found that its easy to figure out the front bank on the 96+ as the carrier has the hall effect cam sensor on the intake side of the carrier and the appropriate cam has a trigger notch and the notch is 180deg from TDC on the exhaust stroke of the #4 cylinder lobes thereby putting it in synch with the #1 cyl TDC compression stroke.
Therefore as long as the lobe splay is opposite on the rear bank for cyl #1 TDC compression as compared to the lobe splay on the #4 cyl TDC compression stroke due to opposing banks I should have them properly laid out.
Markings on the rear bank cams.
Assumed Rear bank intake cam:
2188 and CWC above journal #1 from cam gears
20 and (05 or C5) above journal #2
D2 and C2 above journal #3
Assumed Rear bank exhaust cam
2182 and CWC above journal #1 from cam gears
16 and F5 above journal #2
D2 and C2 above journal #3
For verification does anyone have a set of 96+ cam carriers laying about with the cams installed?
