How to Identify a G-grind cam?

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

Aren't cabbys of that age hydro? If so, I assume that wouldn't be an offical g-grind as those are solid only to my knowledge, but I have heard of the g-grind specs made onto a hydro cam and called a g-grind.

all stock 1.8L cams are marked G, look along the shaft of the cam you should
find a series of numbers also stamped on it, give us the number well run it

Just finished sropping the engine and tranny out of the wifes totaled cabby,
took the valve cover off to take a look at some things and noticed that
there is a G stampped into the cam. So naturaly not knowing WTF this might
mean, I thought I'd ask. Reason is, I've had her cabby against other 8v's
and never had a hard time pulling away really. So could this be what I
think/hope it is?
