[alfa] GTV-6 Camshafts

["Ritchie, Jason" <jritchie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't get any help on my camshaft question so I thought that I might
need to give more info.  I have the cam covers off my fairly new to me
1986 GTV-6 and noticed that the cams don't have much wear on them for the
100,000 miles on the car.  So I'm wondering if I still have stock
camshafts in it.  The numbers that I've found on the camshafts are 119
0003200125.  That may be incorrect because it is hard to read the rough
cast numbers.  I also noticed something odd with the cam bearing caps the
other night.  The drivers side head caps have the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8
stamped into them from back to front with arrows pointing to the front of
the car.  The passenger side has 4, 3, 2, 1 from back to front with
arrows pointing to the back of the car.  Is one side backwards?  Is it
even possible?  What doom and gloom would occur if they are wrong?  My
memory is telling me that the arrows should point forward in all cases. 
Thanks for any help.
