a dumb head problem.

OK i just got my head back from the machine shop he was just cleaning it up, and he lost the cam caps. and some cover that is between the cams on the side with the cas? and i was wondering if there is a difference in these parts of a n/t and a turbo i have a n/t head but i do not know if it interchange.

Oh no that's not good. I hear those caps are made head-specific. Traivs had big problems with that. Not sure how or why though.

By NT do you mean NT 420a or NT 4g63? I cant honestly imagine there would be a difference between NT and turbo 4g63s but 420a ones will not work in a 4g63 head.

So apparently I woke up at 3:50 this morning and typed that but I don't remember doing that.

No the N/T 420a cam caps won't wit on the 4g63 head cam caps. May com close to fitting, but it'll either be too tight or too loose.

ok he found the cam caps, but he did not find the thing that bolts to the head between the cams (i have no idea what it is called). and the head i have is missing one... Anyone know where i can get one?

it is a 4g63 6 bolt

The head is not bolted between the cams so this doesn't make sense.

You talking the metal clamps with 2 bolts that hold the cam in place?

Ok here is a picture of the head it is on the cas side with the 3 bolts.

Oh, he lost that deal? Pretty sure that just channels oil from one of those tubes to another, best thing to do would be to buy a junk ass head from a junk yard. Dont do it yourself either, if the machinist is careless enough to lose it he can pay for it.

I wouldn't use the head if I were you. If he lost the cam caps, whos to say the work that he did is even legit. I wouldn't trust him. And those cam caps are head specific, and also order specific, they're not supposed to get mixed up. If it was me, I'd get a different head.
