Are camshafts specific for inlet and outlet? Would there be any marks on them to tell me which is which?

Depends on what cam shafts they are. Give us more details

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Yes they will be specific mate,mines ran lumpy with them in but not as you have mentioned,think these need verniers so you can get the most out of them

Im sure on the x16xe they can only go in one way because the exhaust pulley has a lobe on it for the camshaft and that pulley will only fit onto the exhaust camshaft. Im pretty sure that was the case when I took mine apart anyway.
