My fast road cam??? - or not?

[Funkdocta]

Ello,

Month or so back I had my 1990 GTE engine re-cond. At the same time of the recon I asked the garage to race/tune/sport my car up if I paid more. They said they'd:
- skim the head
- fit a fast road cam
- lighten & balance the fly-wheel
- balance the crank shaft
- bore it out (1mm oversize)
- fit a new set of over sized pistons and con rods
- and every thing else envolved in the recon.
All for aprox. ?1500! I thought this was pretty damb good so I told them to go ahead with it and they said it would take about a month.

Anyway I saw them do most of the work so I knew it was all new parts etc. and they seemed to be doing a good enough job but my Q is that, I didn't see them fit the cam and i've got a funny feeling that they might have just put mine back in! Is there an easy way I can find out if the cam is a fast road one or a standard one???

(Sorry 4 long winded msg!)

i think you're original cam will have GM stamped on it, take off the rocker cover and see if you can find the stamp.

or like on my spare piper 285 cam it is engraved on the end of the cam behind the dizzy
