Hi all, 


Can anyone help identify the part number for this? Is it a straight swap?

Cam cap that is part of the head, can't be ordered separately.  You must order a complete head as it's machined to the actual head for cam clearance/alignment.

That looks like the bolt boss that holds the valve cover on. If that’s the case you might want to drill and tap the threads all the way through and use a longer bolt.  Best to remove the cam tower to do that.

Thanks man!


It’s strange, is there no way I can just order a cam cap for it? SURLEY kxf250 2020 cam caps would all be the same? 

It’s only holding the cams in place, the engine cylinder isn’t broken just the cap


How would this even happen? Too much torque?

The cam caps are machined to match the head. They are not available separately and if you find a used cam cap, it could cause binding issues when assembled

Ahh there is no way round this other than getting a new head. 

It’s a shame lol

That is correct. You can try to find a used one, but it might not work. Those bolts only take like 7-10ft lbs of torque. They're not meant to be super tight.

You can remove it and drill it deeper then tap it again, as was stated here. Or you could find someone who welds aluminum and have them weld it up then redrill and tap it. Iether way I hope you found all the peices and none of them are floating around in there.
