D80E lash caps
[align=left]I have just re-assembled the engine(d8ae-ba i belive) in my 67 only to find that i am missing one of the exhaust valve lash caps. Aside from going on a long junk yard adventure, i was wondering where i might be able to find a set of the right sized caps. I tried Summit, Jegs, MU, MD, and various other sites but to no avail. They seem to be a very elusive little part(no pun intended). I have tried to install the rocker w/o the cap but it just wont do, its all sloppy and loose.

The thing is i have a very confusing engine. The code on the manifold says its a d8ae-ba which is a 79 302(if im not mistaken) and the heads are i belive "H.O. performance" D80Es, and only the exhaust valves have the lash caps. The stems measured out to 1/4" or 7mm and the only caps i can find in that size is for a 4.6 SOHC. I keep telling my car "you will be on the road soon" (yes i talk to my car...)
