I don't think so - here are some photographs I made ages ago when I was checking out the work done at the machine shop on my head.

The locating ring for the rocker tower above cylinder 5 was all mangled up so I replaced it:-



Just knocked it out with a hammer and punch (as carefully as possible!).

The hole "north" of the mangled locating ring is a hole for a (head) bolt.



Part number for the ring:-



EDIT:-

I've just ordered another locating ring from the dealer and I'm reliably informed that there is a fold in the bit of paper that shows the part number!

The part number is 180 055 01 75
