Mate something to keep in mind. Cam caps are a "machined fit" so you can't just take a handful of 'em & throw 'em on a head like you would a set of wheel nuts etc. You CAN stuff around trying to match a bucketful of caps but the best way is, once you've got some, send them in with the head along with the cams to a good machine shop & they'll machine everything to fit.

Apologies if you're already aware of this, I've heard stories & seen the end-result of not matching cam caps to an engine properly & it usually ends in tears. Good Luck with it :(

yeah thats the plan, to get some caps and machine to fit (will probably cost me $$$). Unfortunatly a head I bought does not come with the caps.

Im after as many as i can get. Rb25, Rb26 (and even rb20 if they are similar) Should be anything from a twin cam RB engine.

Does noone have any floating around??

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
