Default Camshaft clamp 2.8 v6 needed

Hi there I'm rebuilding my heads on my car and one off the camshaft clamps has snapped phones audis and they do not sell them they only come with a new head at a cost off 1000 pounds
So I'm praying that someone or here could help as I'm stuck
Thanks lee

You mean the cam caps which hold the cams in the head? Those are align-bored and so matched to the specific location in an individual head, hence why Audi don't sell them and why you have to put them back in the same location and orientation they came from. I would not swap a single cap from another head since it's not likely to be properly aligned with the rest of the head so the cam will either not turn at all, or will overheat the bearing and damage things. You might get lucky, and find one that fits ok, but its not good practice.

I would suggest a good used head is a better option. Our sponsors don't appear to have any listed, but its worth a call to see if they have anything. If not, there are a pair of ACK heads on ebay at the mo for £115 each
