birdmayne Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Hello, I just picked up two RB25DET heads that are missing cam caps. It was my belief that I could replace the caps and line hone them to work. I'm from the USA, and it has been all but impossible to find replacement caps. Did I just acquire two overpriced and elaborate paper weights? If anybody can shine a light on a source, or sell me a set or two, that would be awesome.

GTSBoy Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Well, you can replace the cam caps and hone them. But you can't just go buy them from the shop.

corbic Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Best bet is just to machine new ones from scratch or find a junk head with cam-caps. I don't believe the caps where ever available separate and it's not something people part out. It's less costly just to buy a whole new head then to find used caps and used head and try and match. Then you have to worry about clearance issues based on how much material needed to be removed. Used Neo-Head on eBay for $800. The RB26 Head was available for $900 for a while but is back to Discontinued. New ones are still floating around for $3-4k. 11040-05U00 Edited November 30, 2021 by corbic 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/483018-did-i-just-buy-expensive-paper-weights/#findComment-7958259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
