Cam Caps

[rahjah]

:facepalm:I am in the process of doing my first rebuild. I am rebuilding a ka24de and I am working on the head. When I dissasembled the valve train I labeled, bagged and kept in order all of the valves, springs, retainers, keepers and lifters. I failed to keep the cam caps in order. They are seperated as far as intake and exhaust go but not in order from the front of the head to the rear of the head. My question is, have I made a grave mistake that will doom me to failure? Any constructive input is appreciated.

It is a big mistake and can certainly affect clearances but you can measure the lobes and caps without cams to find the ones the clearance best.

If you look at each cap they should be numbered in order front front to rear
