Default Coyote cam tower caps

Hi, I’m new to the forums and just wanted your guys opinions on my 2013. I race this car a lot and switching over cams and noticed some tiny holes on the cam cap so I took it to a machine shop and the tech inspected and saw no cracks on the cap only those tiny holes. He said I can maybe get away with it to just put assembly lube, other than those holes everything else is smooth no rough feel to it. Is it a good idea to slap it back on?

Yep, I read you will have to take the heads to a machine shop too I can't understand why the holes are there...........I have read the cam endcaps aren't very good (strong) from the factory. I would get aftermarket replacements if I were you. I'm no expert, you know a lot more about this than I do. I'm just saying what I've been reading Good luck, and keep us posted on how it goes
