Are the exhaust and inlet camshafts on the 16v identical ?

No they are different. I think you may find a different letter stamped into them somwhere on the shafts.

The inlet cams are also different bertween a 30746 and a 30747 motor. As far as I can tell that is the only difference between the motors

Thanks Scott.

Just hope the guys who skimmed the heads numbered the camshafts correctly.

It does turn over by hand without the valves hitting the pistons!

the inlet cams are the same as each other, and the exhaust cams are the same as each other, but the exhaust cams and the inlet cams are different.

The cam wheels are all different, though. They are all marked with a two letter code. These are

Ad
Sd
Ss
As

where 'S' is scarico (exhaust), 'A' is admizzione (inlet), 's' is sinistra (left) and 'd' is destra (right)

Hope this useless info helps someone!
