Is it possible to determine what cam is inside the 2.0 liter four cylinder motor I just purchased, without splitting the cases. Can a dial gauge on the rocker arms and degree wheel on the flywheel be used to measure the cam lift and profile. Are any cam markings visible without splitting the cases. The engine was last run with carbs, but no history of whether or not the cam was ever changed. I'd prefer not to disturb the bottom end if possible. Tried a search, but couldn't find anything.

And of course you can put a dial indicator on a pushrod or a lifter (if you can get access) or a rocker arm and use a degree wheel on the crank. It can be tough to match those measurements up with published info, though.
