Removed heads to replace a head gasket sent to head to the shop to get it fixed got them back installed them, but I didn't mark the cams to know which ones went in which place.

Hi,.

The intake camshaft will be closest to the intake manifold on both sides.

If you look below, pic 1 shows the part numbers. See if you can locate them on the cams to identify which is which. Pic 2 shows the intake cam positioning.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
