camshaft identification

Post by danny »

Morning all.

I've a camshaft at home i was hoping someone may be able to help me identify
it's cam out of a metro 998 engine i was told had a high lift cam in.

there are no ridges on the cam to identify it, there is a number stamped into the camshaft AEA 640

the other unusual part of the cam is it has 2 drives for the distributor, one at either end.

any help appreciated.
i'll try get a pic later

Are you right on the numbers, could it be a 649?
