Hey boys can anyone shed some light on this cam ive got the numbers on the gear are 57565. the previous owner said he had a bigger cam and headwork done. i just got around to pulling off the cam chest cover to chase down the pesky nut that fell off the generator shaft and that was the only marking on the cam. thanks in advance Diesel
