It should say "G5X2" and "112" or "114" lsa, so it looks like you didn't get one. ![EEK !!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_eek2.gif)

It says 114+4 on there if you look closely. Another vote for getting it cam doctored nonetheless. I bought a 231/237 off a board member and I'll be getting it doctored no doubt.

Spanky is on the money!
These are the specs i was told the cam has: 232/240 Duration & 595/608 Lift at 114 LSA.
I bought it from employee of a sponsor of this board. I dont think he would pull some scammer ****, but after reading how most peolpe's g5x2's had it scribed in the shaft, i started to wonder. Anyway i can mic the lobes to determine anything? It would have been nice of him to be honest and say it wasnt a true LG cam like he claimed it was... Thanks for the help and suggestions so far!

If it's new, it should have a pink dot and if its used it should have engravings similar to these....
