A friend and I just swapped the head out on his 87 22RE motor. He had it decked 5 thou, new valves, valve job, etc.
We found a slight chip out of the side of one of the stock cam lobes, and another friend sold him a cam from his 22R carbed motor. Here's a link to a pic of the card that came with the new cam...is this cam alright for this engine?

R and RE engines use the same cam; you'll be fine.

22R and 22RE use the same stock cam...yeah, but this is a mid-range or broad-range aftermarket cam, pulled from a 22R motor and put in a 22RE. Will that make a difference?
Just being careful, wondering if the bigger cam will be bad for his injected motor.

nah, run it!!

really though, you'll be fine as long as it isn't too radical. Maybe a little low on vacuum though.
