Any ideas before i rip it apart?
Hey all....new guy here. Iv got a ezgo with the 295 engine. Im told its an 03 model. Iv yet to check to id numbers to be sure. anyway its got low compresion on one side. I was just gonna yank to motor and go through it but then i found this forum and thought id ask if theres any common issues with these motors that would cause my low compression and maybe i could fix without pullin the motor..
Thanks |

Re: Any ideas before i rip it apart?
Since i posted, iv been reading around here a bit and it seems that valve lash is an issue with these.I will check mine and cross my fingers. it would be sweet if thats all it is. I bought it cheap cuz i convinced the guy the rings were bad. Next chore....lift kit!!

Re: Any ideas before i rip it apart?
If the cart runs and doesn't smoke, then I'll bet she just needs the valves set correctly. What is the compression in each cylinder? Oh - we set valves at .004".

Re: Any ideas before i rip it apart?
I do have a follow up question though. If my intake valve lash has tightened up doesnt that mean that my valve seats have sunk and shouldnt i be pulling the head to replace them?
