I recently bought an engine for my boat (BBC 540) I am assembling the heads and decided to check the cam for specs.How do I find out the brand of the cam.Pulled the cam and these are the numbers I got from it.just behind the front bearing journal is 139516 00 K2A. On the back of rear journal is E36573. I know its a solid roller cam.Would like to be able to call the company and get spec.card. Can anybody point me in direction. Thanks for any info.

I'm assuming you searched those numbers on the net.
If you can't find any info, have someone put it in a cam doctor. We have a guy local to us that will do it for 25 bucks. You will get a digital spreadsheet with all the info.

Thanks for input. I never heard of a cam doctor.Going to see if I can get that done around here on long island. Tried searching the numbers on the computer. Checked crower, isky, comp, herbert.I know the engine was a blower motor.JE recessed pistons.
