Is there any way to tell if they are stock cams? perhaps a serial number or markings of some sort?

Well I spoke with HKS and not all of their cams are stamped with HKS lettering. Some just have a four didgit serial number and some have nothing at all. Some help with identifying stock cams would really help. Thanks!!

Stock cams are hollow...meaning there are holes in them.

How can you tell the difference between a HKS 264 and HKS 272 cam by looking at it? Is 264 or 272 stamped on the cam? I am thinking about buying used HKS cams.
