I'm trying to determine if there is excessive play in the exhaust valve on this Tecumseh LV195EA.

I made a video showing how the intake valve is a little more tight than the exhaust valve:


The only reason I don't just replace the valve guide or valve guide seal is because:

-There doesn’t seem to be a valve guide part listed

-The listed part for the seal (40017) does not seem to be available

-The part 40017 is listed as "Intake Valve Seal", and the parts diagram doesn't even show any sort of seal for the exhaust valve

Just trying to see if that amount of play in the exhaust valve is normal, and if not, what can be done about it.

Thanks,

Chris

I have convinced myself that I need an oversized exhaust valve, mainly because Tecumseh makes one, and they don’t sell valve guides.

Problem is the OS exhaust valve (part number 36780) seems near impossible to find. Sigh.

Wonder if there is another valve part number that would work? Even if I have to grind it down?
