2002 protoge 2.0l camshafts

[samre5]

I am searching for an intake camshaft for my 2002 Protoge 2.0l ......I'm having a TOUGH time finding one of these at a "you-pick-it" bone YARD. Are there other vehicles that have the same exact cam and sprocket? I heard that the 2002-2003 protoge 5 uses the exact same engine.......are there others ??? (deadhorse

I may have one...will have to check...I know I have a single cam, but not sure if it is exhaust or intake...

Intake or exhaust

My exhaust cam clearly says FSD7 on it ( from a photo I just took).....I'd have to rotate the engine to see if the intake cam is a different #.....I'm "learning on the fly" here......every turn I take in this search just reveals to me that I need to find out more info......this sucks!........I read a blip on the internet that the intake and exhaust on this 2.0l are the same cam.....is this true ??? Thanks

Isn't there an I or E stamped on the end?

intake cam

I pulled the valve cover again and the intake has a different set of #'s on it......FS1G intake.....FSD7 exhaust. After research, this is apparently a modified FSD7 cam for better emmissions.

Fs1g intake cam

Found it at a U-Pull-It lot in a 2001 Mazda 626......absolutely PRISTINE !!!!!!
I payed $2 to get in and it cost me $14 for the Cam, the cam caps, that aluminum cam oil seal and every odd bolt and specialty washer on the valve cover......I even got the IAC off the motor................you can't beat that.....16 bucks and I'm back in business. That joint ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
