Timing for the cams is 46 on the 485 and 66 on the 600 that's the only difference I seen. so what are the different components in these 2 engines cams, injectors, cranks? I'd like to know how different they really are?

Something seems OFF on this to me Rawze...the 2250 is a single cam engine, why does it have two digits denoting cam timing? Any of the datwplates I've looked at on 2250's only have a single digit.

The cam timing isn't what you're looking for to distinguish differences between engines, the CPL is what you compare. CPL is Critical Parts List, and it's code tells what Pistons, injectors, turbo, cams etc. were installed during build at the engine plant.
