No, I'd be talking about #1 & #5 in that pic.
The pic, though, makes it look like there are only 2 of those? Am I seeing that correctly?

Remember, I'm not the Porsche guy here, haha. But the few motorcycle motors that I'm referring to below, those caps are cast as one piece with the head, then split. That's a deviation from standard practice, in my experience though. Typically, the caps are cast, then machined, then bolted-on, then bored/honed. as one would expect.

?? go figger.
