The camshafts are the same for both inlet and exhaust John. If you are re-shimming then you will be OK if they are swapped over wink

Valve stem oil seals here

I think Brian's taking a break John. I think if you put them in with the cam lobes in the position shown and the sprockets marks don't line up, then yes you can get them mixed up. BUT I think they'll be so far out it will be obvious. If they're all in bits it's not difficult to experiment a bit.

If you have not removed the cam sprockets from the camshafts, then follow Simons advice and Line them up like the picturesmile

If needed give me a call in the morning, contact details are on the shop.
