Re: Camshafts - where from?
I think the caps are part of the head. As in the head is made and then the camshaft journal is line bored as one piece. So the caps are not replaceable on their own.
If it's egg shaped the journal both halves of it will be stuffed anyway. I am really surprised it hasn't knackered the big ends too.

No... see. Caps are not listed as discrete part. They are part of head.

Re: Camshafts - where from?
Cam caps are line bored with the head and aren't replaceable.
Agree about big ends, if the oil pressure dropped low enough for the cams to be starved the crank definitely will have too.
