[QUOTE="Forgalspop, post: 4129375, member: 46636"] [B]Update[/B]: Letfreedomring you were correct in thinking that perhaps the valve was not moving freely. It took me some further looking at the issue before I figured out the reason for the failure. The exhaust valve metal valve guide came out of it's seating in the aluminum head and limited the travel of the valve. Basically, because of how the engine is designed, I think it is non-repairable or not worth repairing. Swampratt is correct in running 2-stoke gas through the pressure washer engine on occasion or any small engine. This will limit exhaust valve issues according to my research. I guess I can't complain too much, I have used the heck out of this pressure washer over the past 12 years. Now I am thinking about what parts I can salvage from the unit. [/QUOTE]
