They are manufactured as a matched set to the head and are considered an integral part of the head, and should not be bought or sold separately. If you DO use a different set (presumably scavenged from a ruined head) they should be line-bored by an automotive machine shop.

The inner surface of these caps ARE the cam bearings, and must match the mating bore of the head bearing surfaces within exacting tolerances, or you'll seize your cams and ruin the rest of the engine.
