Simply not true! 59A and 8BA cams turn the same direction. Only the cut of the gears differ.

Sorry about that, not totally awake on that one!!!!! The thrust of the cam is reversed, not the cam rotation. The 59a thrust the cam toward the engine and the 8ba thrust the cam toward to cover because of the cut of the gears. Some days are better than other!
