   right picked up another vts engine today and inspected the cams. the markings are on the exhaust cam on one side a 9 in square and a 6 or a 9. then on the otherside a 97 and something else.
   on my other vts engine it has the same 9 in a box and has on the otherside a 99 instead ov a 97? also the exhaust has number 2 and inlet has a number 3 on it. anybody know if theres any variation in cams accross the line?

   aye, i'd say year of manufacture. block also has numbers on it and the back of the plenum has a date in a circle thing.
