How to Easily Fix a Stuck Valve (Quick Fix)

Step by Step!

So today we're working on a Storm HG202B pressure washer, powered by a Honda GC160 5hp engine.

This engine was ran low on oil, which most likely lead to the engine running hot, resulting in a seized intake valve.

The intake valve seized in the downward (open) position, which allowed combustion to escape through the intake valve, and out of the air box.

The customer didn't want to spend a lot of money (thinking the engine was toast) and was hoping for a "quick fix" which is exactly what they got (same day repair).

Ideally, you'd want to remove the valve for inspection, make sure it isn't warped, do a leak down test to ensure the valve seat seals, then remove the valve and maybe even polish it with some emery paper (fine automotive sane paper).

However, on an OHV (over head valve) engine, you need to to remove the cylinder head to remove the valves.

This leads to more labor and need for replacement parts, as the cylinder head gasket would likely need to be replaced. Additionally, whenever you reinstall a cylinder head, the valve to rocker arm clearances would need to be adjusted, which leads to more time spent on the repair. (I.e. more cost for the customer).

At the end of the day, this pressure washer now starts 1st pull, runs smooth, and the pump works. Making this a fully functional pressure washer!
