Hey great, i like out-of-spec cam journals.
You can't buy "just the caps" Turby. They come with the head.

Unless they add metal to it before they align bore them, there is no way they can remove metal from the cam journal and keep them in-spec. There are no bearings in those journals to oversize. It is infinitely easier to just buy a head with the right caps and not have to worry about it.

yea you're right
most the time the journal in the head is fine, and the cam caps are what need to be honed. it can be honed and still stay in spec, minimal material is removed. thats why there is margin for out of spec journals.

I don't need anything with it (valves, springs, etc), but would like the cam bearing caps that go with it...
