Bearing "R"

Camshaft "E30"

stampings "F, S, K"

The pink section of the camshaft is paint. No idea why it is there, but there it is.

Reversed "C" and "1"

Hand written(?) "R 9"

Casting mark "F"

Once the metal was clean, it started to flash rust. I hit everything with pb blaster in the hopes to stop the oxidation.

The cam bushings and inside of the n47 were as dark as the timing sprocket. I used concentrated Simple Green and concentrated dish soap together with an old toothbrush to clean things up. It took a while, but I think it was worth it. All of the cam bearings have different casting marks, and several have different hand written-ish markings on the concave edge where the head bolts would go, and for this reason all of the photos of them.
