Review on 1G962 03045 1G962 03046 Cylinder Vehicle Aftermarket by John Stowers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great head, but beware of the valve springs.

Appears to be a very good cast with excellent workmanship. Fittings, valves, springs, latches and locks, however, seem sketchy to me. I used the valves that come with this head but didn't use the rest of the components. Upon inspection of the valve springs, they were not of the same style as the OEM. Notably, they were lighter and had more spools, and did not offer the same carrying capacity when installed. I was afraid of a coil sticking situation and didn't want to bend the pushrods or destroy the cam. The bolts and locks looked like powdered metal and I just didn't trust them. Maybe they would be ok but Kubota makes some pretty good parts and I just chose to stick with them. Otherwise everything is perfect and nothing leaks.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • No
