cam caps are honed to each specific head so they are not interchangeable

nobody sells just the caps. each set is specific to a certain head. caps from one b16 head will not fit on another b16 head. and no a b16 oil pan will not fit a gsr block.

same bore, different rods and piston's,

cam caps are not sold through honda or any where. they are machined to the head. what you need to do is look for a shop that will line hone , i say do this first cause if no one will do it there is no sence in buying the caps.

buying the caps will be tricky, make a wtb thread all over on htech for a junk head, something with dropped valves , if you are looking for the top hardware.

i did this recently and costed me 100 bucks, but the caps feel smooth, they don't really catch my finger nail. i'm still getting a line hone to be safe.
