It is a TR224 Cam:

"TR 224-114" - 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA
or
"TR 224-112" - 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA

This as good as I can get it. Maybe someone can tell exactly what it says. Click to make it bigger.

You could...remove the cam and measure all the specs yourself.

Lobe numbers look like 3715/3715 which would be an XE lobe, 224/224.

TR224 are not XE lobes but slightly more agressive (variance rate 50, Vs XE 53), this can be just a clone 224/224 .568/.568 (can't see the LSA)

he knows now, it should say 112, 113, 114 LSA or something, we gave him the other specs.

You can put a degree wheel on it and find out the ICL and degree it to that. Since it is still a shortblock
