Visual difference between STD cams and updated cams

[willow]

What's the visual difference between STD cams and updated cams in a Clio sport? Basically Ive bought a Clio sport as a non runner and were replacing the engine, the original engine is supposed to have race cams but have no proof, there is no major markings on the cams. How can we tell the difference?

Stock cams have the nocks pressed on to the shaft and all aftermarket cams I know of are of billet type (made out of one solid metal piece) Other indications vary from cam to cam,

i was thinking this tbh, never bothered fitting them to the new engine as thought this may be the case, the previous owner (my mate) got proper ripped at a garage who worked on this car!

The look standard to me too, the markings are identical.

Yes I know but most of them are not.

As all other people say they look like standard cams.
