Cams for Christmas! (Calling the fonts of all knowledge)
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and Santa delivered the right goodies!
My kids told Santa I needed a pair of 2.0l Zetec cams for my 1.8 Velocity, which he duly delivered on the day (been a good boy this year).
The car I bought as a built vehicle for refurbishment/rebuild, so I don't know its build history, and am finding out a lot about it the hard way
through a very steep learning curve! 
Anyway, I have been in the garage this morning to strip the 1.8 for the cam transplant and find it may already have the 2.0l cams fitted
The cams Santa brought have L913B stamped into the shaft casting...so do the cams in my Velocity.
Is this an identifying mark, how can I distinguish which are which? ;

just found what appears to be a good guide on ID of 130bhp cams
130bhp cam ID guide
Do you know what your engine is producing at moment? what ECU are you running as in standard ford ECU also need to get the 130bhp version to get the
most out of it or possibly a remap

The car has an OMEX 500 system.
I dont know what power its producing as it came with a number of problems with its induction system. Once I have sorted that out...probably by going
down the motorcycle throttle bodies route, I will get it dyno'd.

Really confused now...they are not as per any of the diagrammes on the links, but they are identical to the ones my 1.8 is running on at the
moment.

The 1.8 is available as 130bhp from standard so you may already have this engine or the previous owner fitted them therefore the cams may be the same
as the ones santa brought you.
I think the only way you will be able to tell them apart is to measure the lobes and compare the two.
