Someone may know what the markings should be, maybe a GM stamp or casting would help, but tbh I can't see a cam stopping it from atleast starting.
Something else is amiss.

getinf spark and compression wants to fire just wont catch seems to build up as if its goin to go and then gives up
is it an original fit in a gsi? or a transplant?

i got a x16 block from a spi astra with very low miles and put my gsi recon head and mpi stuff on with the gsi cam and rocker
what ecu is it running? is it dizzy or not?

the amber light on the dash? with any fault codes..
dizzy-leads from the lh side are...
...................1
..............3
......................2

dnt have the yb wire for the fault light on my engine loom could that be a prob .leads are on right
if the ecu/afm is the 15pin variety, i have a proper gm efi fault finder for the gte engine. it fits in with a plug & socket arrangement between the afm/ecu & the loom, and you can actually play with all sorts of functions...
if you want to pay carriage both ways, i can lend it to you.
pm me if interested.
