If you are talking about the tops of the cam caps that hold the cam down they are like rod and bearing caps: uniquely machined as matched pairs and so not interchangable.
The good news is that its an easy job for a good machine shop to line bore your existing set...depending on why you need a new one?

They are matched to the head...no good on their own unfortunately.
What you might be able to do is get one to replace the one that broke, have all 4 caps shortened, and then have the head line-bored.

Actually the easy way to do it is to surface the top face of the head about .005", a trivial amount. You can then line bore the cam towers taking most of the meat off of the caps. Set up on the head surfacing is very simple, not so if you are machining the caps.

I feel for ya man.
A cam cap and some machine work is all it would take to save this head,... if you can find a number 4 cam cap.
That's the one next to the end right?
Not sure about sending to Canada but I've got a few parts heads.

Ya that's why I'm looking for a number 4 cap. Getting the machine work is no problem.
