Dont think there is buddy - might have to just strip the engine and crack the case to see - ive googled and cant see any other way of finding out the cam

Ive found these specs on a different site ref standard cam shaft profile

Type 1: 1300-1600:

Inlet opens: 7.5 deg BTDC
Inlet closes: 37 deg ABDC
Exh opens: 44.5 deg BBDC
Exh closes: 4 deg ATDC.

This is VW specs, measured at 1mm lift.
Seems all type 1 1300-1600 from about 1960- 1980 used above.

Might be able to tell if the standard cam is still being used - will have a further look and see if anything is out there for a 1776

Remove the oil pump and check for any marks stamped on the cam. If there is nothing at all, it's probably a stock cam.

Take the oil pump out and if it's a performance cam it will be stamped by the pump key way, W120, FK10 or C25 etc if not it will most likely be a stock cam
