A cam cover cap plug for use with a cylinder head assembly to fill the opening that remains when an accessory unit such as a READ utility pump is not utilized. The cam cover cap plug is preferably a one-piece, molded component formed from a plastic or a metal. The cam cover cap plug includes a back, a front, an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is arched and defines a half-round configuration. The lower surface is flat and includes integrated cylinder head fasteners extending from the flat surface. The arched, half-round configuration of the upper surface provides a full and complete sealing area with the half-round opening of the cam cover formed to receive the accessory unit. The fasteners of the lower surface are preferably integrated dowels. The integrated dowels locate the cam cover cap plug base to the cylinder head of the cylinder head assembly.
