Need tips on where to get a replacement head from?

Cmoney · 02-01-2021, 02:59 PM

I have a 97 EZGO txt with the EH29C engine. My valves are going out. (Losing compression every so often, restored with valve adjustment but lose it again.)

Does anyone know where I can get a complete, bolt-on replacement head?
thanks!

I really doubt you need a head. The valve seats rarely fail. The valves (notably the intake) are soft and wear. Replace the valves, lap them in good and you should be fine.

I second that.

I'm looking at this valve kit:

this head gasket:

what else do I need for the job?
thanks again!

That’s just 2 links to head gaskets. I don’t think oem valves are available anymore but you should be fine with whatever you get. I think my dealer usually stocked red hawk brand valves, like 20 bucks each.

I accidentally pasted the same link twice, but I updated it. It should be one to eBay and one to amazon.

Any advice on the other gaskets?
