Hey guys its been a while since i posted up hear. Ive been at school for to long. My dads been trying to get me to fix his generator. At first it looked like a broken push rod so i replaced it with a new one. A few days later he said it stopped working so i took the valve cover off and the new push rod had bent again. The engine is a briggs intek i believe. Not to old either. Also it is on the exhaust side only. Even when i turn over the engine i can see it flexing alot! I have read that it could be a loose valve guide or the valve guide could have even backed out a bit? The exhaust valve even wiggles a little bit with in the guide, compared to the intake. I just wanted to see if someone else could help pinpoint the problem :shrug: Thanks for any help guys
