    Are all 4 camshafts interchangeable? I know they are all marked INF,EXF,INR,EXR. As I was changing a head gasket in the front, I noticed the 2 camshafts are stamped EXF. I know the engine rotated freely before I took it apart. So, Are they interchangeable?

    Not exterior, the EX means 'exhaust'.

    You are correct, the cams have the lobes positioned in a certain way and cannot be mixed. The intakes and exhaust have different profiles too, so that is not even close.
