Default lsvtec, Missing cam caps...bad???

I posted this in the integra forum, but didnt get much help.

I'm starting my ls/vtec build, with a b18a block and gsr head. The head cost me $200 on eBay. Unfortunately it was missing the cam caps. Obviously im going to need cam caps, so can i use the ones off of my ls head? will I need to have the head line bored? If so, where can i get oversized cam bearings?

This will be my first build, so any help will be appreciated.
thanks

no you cant use ls cam caps on gsr head...

just look for another head becuase no1 is gonna sell you caps and even if they did after the money you spend to have them line bored, you could just have bought another one...

good luck,the chance of another heads caps fitting and that you actually find them is slim.The line bore may help if the replacement caps are close enough to fix them but not always.
