LA130 cylinder head issue

I have an LA130, and one of the valve guides in the #2 head won’t stay in place. I’ve removed the head and reset the valve guide, and staked around it to keep it in place, but it only worked for a couple of weeks. I want to just get a new head for it but can’t find the part number I need. The number on the engine is 441677 0131-E1. I can’t find exactly what part number head I need. Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

Generally valve guides move when the head gets too hot. are you cylinder fins clean of dirt and debris/rats nests and the blower housing installed? (the big plastic engine cover)
Cylinder #2 part number is 84001919
Cylinder #1 is 84001918

If i am remembering correctly, since the cylinders are not even across, one is slightly higher than the other due to the connecting rods on the crankshaft, cylinder #1 is the higher of the two and #2 is lower.

I may have been a bit vague when I said I didn’t know what number to get. I know I need cylinder head #2, I’m just not sure of the actual part number to buy. The ones I found say they are no longer available, and were superseded by a different number. So, when looking up that number, it doesnt list my engine number as one that is covered. As for the fins, they are clean. I take the covers off of that mower, as well as my zero turn at least once a month and clean them.
Thank you for your help in assisting me. I really appreciate it.
