Just a heads up, but you cant just replace the cap and call it a day. That head is going to need to be align bored.

9 times out of 10, the cam will lock up due to a lack of alignment. You may get lucky and find one that fits but I wouldnt just buy some and try it. What are you going to do with the head?

I hate to tell you this, but if you want a 24v head, you have to put the 24v block in there too. The 24v head will not bolt up to the 12v block. The head bolts are offset about 1/2 an inch.
