Does anyone recognize this bb cam? Numbers as I can read them are 17882 which looks to be a possible part number and A5H300R which could be the grind number. The lift is in the mid to upper480's. Sorry about the picture. I had a better one and it wouldn't download. Thanks in advance for any help.

A5H sounds like an old General Kinetics B/RB grind prefix.

The A5H288B was a great cam back in the 70’s. Better even than the great Racer Brown SSH series cams - the 25 and 44.

iagree It's a GK.

H= Hydraulic
300= Advertised duration
R= Their Redline Extreme line

Thanks guys!!! I forgot about the old General Kinetics cams. Been a long time since I seen one. Been building for over 40 years and those numbers didn't ring a bell. I must be getting old!!! lol. Thanks again guys up
