Can someone explain why you can only use the original cam caps from the head?

because the cam caps are line bored with the head.
if you change the caps from another head that cam journal will not be perfectly round.
you "can" try and use diffrent cam caps but you will have to have a good machine shop check and modify the line bore of the cams journals after.
