Missing Cam Cap E4
I purchased a used '04 BHF engine recently with the intent to replace the timing guides. The previous owner had work done on the drivers side head, and whoever did the work lost, or left off, the E4 Cam Cap. What are my options? I believe the caps are line bored on the head, so a cap from another head may/may not fit. Is this head useless because of the missing cap? Can I get away with running the engine without the E4 cap? The other Caps are marked 078 457 C. This part number is used on other 4.2l engines - Is the bore diameter the same on all 4.2l engines? Wolf Auto has caps on e-bay for ~$40, is it worth it to buy one to see if it fits. Does anyone in the community have a head with bent valves that they'd be willing to part with a few of the caps for me to try for fit?
Thank you
