1 Camshaft caps Sun May 22, 2016 4:56 pm

Are they line bored to fit that one cylinder head or precision bored so that any fits any? I just had an interesting weekend that culminated in putting two helicoils into the timing chest and a further four into the cylinder head, all just to secure the cam cover. On no.3 exhaust camshaft cap the boss to secure the cam cover was broken into four parts (fortunately they'd stayed in the cam cover and not made a dive for the sump). Around three complete threads had survived right at the bottom of the boss, so I was able to cut an allen bolt down to exactly the right length and put some gasket cement behind the new rubber bolt seal to keep the oil in.
If the caps are precision bored than I'll replace the cap, but I don't really fancy replacing the cylinder head.
