I had an awful thing happen while assembling the head, I managed to break one of the camshaft caps while tightening. I didn't notice one wasn't sitting totally flat, and it didn't take much for it to snap. Now I am seriously F'ed, I know these come as a set to the head. I think if I can find another one it will either be close or I can have it machined, definitely do not want to buy a whole new head. Have emails out to partsoque and amayama to see if they can sell me one separately. Otherwise, anyone else know where I can find a used one. It is the 2nd one from the front. if nothing else, let this be a lesson to all.

I did, found this company ETP out of australia, that sells the whole set, apparently it is somewhat common issue. Plastigauged it when installed and it was within spec, been running it so far for about 5000km no issues. Had the the oil tested about 3000km nothing abnormal detected, looks like a solid fix.
Good day. Just read this posts....only because I have the same problem in breaking the Cam Cap. Was just wondering, since you had bought a new set, what happened to the old set (less one broken) and if possible you still have it, if maybe I can help you get rid of it? Please let me know. Willing to pay top dollar! Cheers
