Cam ID

[Britt Boyette]

I have a cam that I'm trying to ID. It has the casting "E-30" on it. Any ideas?

The cam that came in the N47 head, in an L24 is marked with an E according to the below chart, which came from a text file and of course will not paste properly:

There is also a BMW E-30 engine....

Here is the text file, which a member posted awhile back.

It's installed in an E-88 head so I don't think it a BMW. Thanks for the specs. I will search further for more info on the cam itself.

Sounds like it may be from an earlier source. I haven't heard of this stamp being used on a Nissan cam but wasn't the Nissan E-30 head on the Fairlady Z or some other 2.0 liter L6 application?

Sorry, wasn't able to find more specifics in my stuff.

Happy Holidays!!!

I looked at it again and the only things on it I can find are E-30 and JAPAN. There doesn't appear to be any other markings. The cam looks to be in excellent conditon and I checked the lobes with a caliper, they are perfect.
