Does anyone have any spare cam caps for sale please, a cpl would be good, a full set even better?? To fit 1977 Z1000A1, are the intake and exhaust caps different?? Thanks, :)

those cam caps are matched to the head so if You are using different ones be very careful
it is not just a case of replacing one with another

They are numbered 1-4 and they were line bored , theoreticly should be interchangeable but reallity changes it a bit , it can & has been done before , previous threads on here have discusssed this topic with varying opinions , my own thou has caps which have possibly come from another head and it runs fine . good luck :)

The do's & dont's have been debated here in some depth in the past, many have changed caps with no nasty side effects.
I'll cut to the chase.... I have a set of four (came with a job lot of spares)..... Yours for £20 inc postage, if you want 'em.
