Got it with a bunch of stuff. He said before he brought the stuff over it was an f cam but i know better. Just want to figure out what it is. What does a stock cam look like on the back?

How do you know it's not an F cam?
My stock cam has a couple of characters that I can't make out and 03.

From what I've heard the letter cams say what they are on back. 've never installed one so I don't know. Yeah it looks like someone didn't do a great job when they installed the cam. But the lobes look good on it. I just want to know what it is.
Heres a pic of the cam itself

You could tie a rope to it and use it as a boat anchor, or use it to prop open your hood/trunk/hatch at a car show...
Even if it is an alphabet cam, a lot of "custom" cam grinders use alphabet cam blanks or re-tooled alphabet cams and pass them off as "custom" grinds. Since you don't know what it is, it looks like it was installed with 0 endplay, and the lobes are probably knicked to hell from it not being stored right or lubed, why don't you toss it into a garbage pail instead of risking it or mismatching a combo?
Just my .02

It's tough to tell from the angle in the second pic. Which of these 3 does it most look like?
