Bought a b16 head and its missing the center cam cap..... this is holding back from lsv build. Just wanted to know if I can use center cap off another b16 head?

 

cam caps are matched to each individual head. you cant simply take one off another head and use it on yours.

you can get away with it if youre lucky. If you can find one, mic it or plastigage it and find out.
