Working on a 407577-0292-E1: B&S site says cylinder head no longer available. I need to locate a head with the guides installed...appreciate help in advance.

Well which head as Partstree has both in stock?

BTW I have yet to see an OHV small head with guides not installed. Matter of fact you can't even buy the guides separately.

Thanks....the B&S site shows what I call a "parts group" part number, inclusive of valves, springs, stem seal...not just a part number for the head itself.....for two head groups. I'm not sure how to determine which group number is for my engine.
 
Well while sitting looking the carburetor end the engine # 1 is on the left and #2 is on the right.

The head with the intake port on the right is the # 1 and the one with intake port on the left is the # 2. This is looking with the rocker cover side facing you.

If that doesn't work for you post a picture of the head you are needing.
 
If you remove the blower housing there may be a number 1 or 2 molded into either the head or the cylinder. Head #1 is currently part number 84001918 which is currectly backordered at least at my warehouse, but are showing in stock at Salt Lake City Ut, and Charlotte, NC, and head #2 is part number 84001919 and is showing in stock at my Iowa warehouse.

Thanks, I didn't see any orientation choices in the B&S site. As I broke down the engine I used punch marks on the heads and on the rods and block to locate them during the rebuild. Internally there are numbers in the casting too. Plus closest to the PTO end of the crank.

I appreciate the help,
