Default WRX or STI....

....cams?. My 94 WRX have L2IN - L2EX etc. For a while now i've been trying to source some V3 Sti heads but the cams seem to have L4IN L4EX etc.
Is the L not specifically a WRX cam? Does anyone actually have lobe measurements for the V3 STI "wilder" cams?
Thanks

The L is reference to which side of the engine they are fitted to, the other 2 cams will have R stamped on them

Ive just measured a V3 STI head (small under bucket shims) the inlet cam lift is 8.60mm and the exhaust 8.25mm, hope that helps?

Ive been away for a while, but £400 for fit V3 STI complete heads seems like a bargain to me.

Thanks J, obviously my WRX one's are R2IN etc.
I just wanted to find out if the coding on the cam's differ from WRX to STI.

Lovely thanks! Is that a measurement from the cam body to the top of the lobe?

If you have a vernier gauge measure the width at the narrowest then the widest section of the cam lobe, the difference is the amount of lift.

The length of the lobes on the cams i have are in42.33 ex42.67

Which appear on par with the 1 line STI cams found in this thread.
