Every part I ordered so far turned out to be less WITH shipping than with my
local authorized dealer. Plus, they always had every item in stock. They
also carry NGK spark plugs for Honda engines. I prefer them in my GX270
engine and I think they were less than $2 ea. at Peninsula. I found this
place after Honda backordered a new valve cam for over two months. Yup,
they had it in stock. It turns out the same cam is used for other engines,
not just the eu2000.

BTW, do you happen to know what model the eu2000 engine is? Honda told me
it was a GX100 but it says GCXXXXX on it and I thought the GX series meant
it was an OHV engine, not OHC.

I can't believe your valve cams don't need to be replaced if the belts are
worn...
