some guy is tring to sell me a head, but it doesnt have any cam caps, or rockers.... i know the rockers are fine from another head, but im under the impression that the cap caps are machined with the head. is that true

 

yeah its the same

 

last I heard, cam caps are like main caps and are machines to the head. maybe you can get the head lined with another set of cam caps liek you can with main caps.

 

I think you could easily get away with it, but if it seems off then take it to a shop

 

i vote no, cause if you can get them align bored ($) then you need cam bearings, because the cams will be smaller than the bore ($) and you would probably have been better off just getting a head someone hadnt fucked up.

 

plastigauge them to see if they are within spec, but they are made per head. I got away with swapping on a 7M GTE, check the clearance, if it's high, do some filling.

 

Cam bearings? WTF you smoking?

Properly done, align bored will be the FACTORY size, not bigger..........

 

I cant see it being a problem, since cams are interchangeable no problems, and there is no cam journal to cam cap clearences, I'd say its fine.

I would try to stick with the same series head though.

 

take 2 35mm half cicles, and put them together crooked, the only way to get another perfect circle is to make it larger than 35mm.
