M119 cam oilers..plastic years?
What year or models determine if a 5 Liter M119 V8 has plastic vs. metal cam oilers. One post suggested looking through the oil cap could tell but don't see how this part is visible w/o removing a cam cap?

My understanding is that 1993-1999 models had plastic cam oilers. Only very early M119 engines had the more durable metal oilers.
