whats the crack with cam caps do you need them with that exact head or can you use others?? or can you get them machined??#

its best to use them with the same head and in the same order so that they wear evanly with cam n head. i dont think you can get them machined itha otherwise theyd b too big

 

They can be machined by milling the base then line boring but bot cheap.

You can get the head and caps remachined to bring them back to spec, expect to pay about Ł200 ex VAT on a DOHC 4 cylinder.

 

all sorted now they fit and running fine and free

 

Hi,

No need machined if you can check free rotation of your camshaft, before.

In exemple, if you have problem with one cap, fit your camshaft without your defective cap, and test the free rotation without and with the new cap.
If problem, you can overdrill the cap (ie 6.4 mm. instead 6.1 mm.) and refit. Cap will be exactly in good position on camshaft. Tighten.
