Default Help me Identify these cams!! Type R? *I Searched*

Alright guys I have been searching through all the different cam identity threads and getting so confused with all the pictures.
I have looked here as well

i searched and found this:
How to identify ITR camshafts? - Honda-Tech

But none of the pictures on that thread match my picture of my unidentified cams.


Now here is my dilemma I have set of cams that came with my DD 95 integra GSR. The cams in this car were supposedly type r cams. I have ran a 14.8 with the car with just intake, IM, header and exhaust which leads me to believe that they may be indeed type r cams. BUT when i took them out today i noticed that they did not look anything like the pictures in this thread of type r cams. Here are some pictures of the unidentified cams:





Now I have compared these unidentified cams next to my stock GSR cams. Here you can clearly see the lobes on the intake cam on the bottom (gsr cam) is smaller than the lobes on the unidentified intake cam:



Please help me out TR Thanks!!

The ITR/CTR cams have engraved rings at the end,
The Intake cam most likely 94+ GSR since it has the protruding rings with no engraved rings. Im not sure about your exhaust cam though weird it looks like 89-91 b16a exhaust cam if no engraved ring on the end kinda hard to tell from the pic.

all those pics plus some are in the honda-tech thread that i posted but none of them look exactly like the intake cam i have.

Also that picture of the 94+ GSR intake cam is wrong and it that was mentioned in multiple other threads. GSR cams are supposed to look like this:

GSR 96+ spec intake CAM


Which my stock gsr cams do. But im still trying to figure out what these damn unidentified cams are.

I really dont think they are.
in this last picture it shows the difference between a stock gsr cam (bottom) and the unidentified cam (top). u can clearly see the difference in the RIGHT lobe height compared to the center vtec lobe on both cams. Also not to mention the rings are different.



The red arrows show the difference between the right lobe heights compared to the center vtec lobe.

I believe is the angle of the camera thats selling the picture that way. Measure them to compare with a micrometer. I have had those same cams in my hand before and were btoh taken off a b18c1 both are from GSRs

Oh and on another note.. You're not supposed to lay the cams down on the side like that. Put he gears back on them and stand them up
