yep hydralic tappet heads only have 4 cam caps, there's an oil squirter there instead.
You might find the head is from a digifant car as caddyrage says, which means your old k-jet injectors wont fit. Easily solved though, simply unscrew the injector inserts from your old head, and screw them into the new one :)

You may have to swap things like coolant fnanges over as well if the new head has them.
