Basically; the cam cover and cylinder head saddles are machined as one assembled unit, switch covers on a head and the saddle journals no longer match and are out of round making the new assembly useless, which is why Porsche sells them as a set.

And these alloys are easier to weld with a TIG than a MIG welder.............
