BTW.. you answered your own question in your response.
Bent the pushrod. First one I had seen. I smacked the valve with a hammer and knocked the guide back down where it belonged, straightened the push rod. It ran for several hours without a load. After about a half hour cutting grass and same thing happened again. Guide slipped again.[/QUOTE]
This wasn't a question. It was a statement.
I'm not a flipper. I buy and keep.
Have a good day.[/QUOTE]
I know that was not a question. Your question or statement, whatever, "why install new heads and why not straighten push rods?". You yourself stated why that was not really an option. You tried what you suggested then wound up changing the head. Just like I am doing. The difference is, You had a spare. I didn't. And I didnt trust the used ones I saw on ebay. So I bought new ones.
Good day!
