B18C5 cam description
Ok, so i just bought a Integra Type R intake cam (B18C5) brand new and after comparing it to the Type R cam that i am replacing, I notice some differences between the two! Can someone please post good pics or give a really detailed description of an ITR intake cam? The new one I just got has a little B about halfway down the cam, and the old one has a little K halfway down..Please help me out.
Oh yeah, the new one I got doesn't look nearly as polished as the ones I took out of my car (The new one is much more of a dull black). Could this be because it's new or because I got screwed into buying a non-OEM cam?

Ok, from looking at those pics the cam I just got most closely resembles the '00 ITR intake cam except mine is a really dull black. Is that just because it is brand new or what? And as for my old ITR cams, I can't seem to find any pics that resemble them.

Basically I had somebody put in a new headgasket for me, and he didn't put the key that holds the cam gear and intake cam together back all the way in, so it totally screwed up the end of my Integra Type R cams. The guy did give me a set of b16 cams from a '99 Si to put in until I got another Type R intake cam. The machine shop that did some of the work said they couldn't machine the end of my (otherwise perfectly good) cam, so now its just a big expensive paperweight.

OK...another question: The hole (on the distributor side) of my new cam isn't as deep as one on the cam I had in there before. Is this going to be a problem or make a big difference when I go to put the new one in or anything?
