Was measuring up to make bucket/shim tool and noticed that I have three Cam Ladder Caps that are cast with a dimple on the top Ctr of the cap , the dimple kinda get in the was of my idea of the tool layout , I can put in a recess to overcome not a big deal . I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the two different cap castings ? They look like they are in random placement , I know the dealer was into my engine for the first valve clearance check , wondering if a factory assembler grabbed into a different parts bin after lunch or maybe dropped in by the dealer after the F-Up Fairy had a visit ? See attached pic , Dimple on the right one none on the left one
 
Above my pay grade, Stu.

I'd suggest that you reach out to Warp 9.9 (Scott) to discuss the forensics!
 
Yep looks like three of them or that is what I have on my 06 Highlighted below.


Could be from ejector pins or core extractors from the die sinking process.
Same positioning as mine
