Honda Push Mower HRR2169VKAA With A GCV160 Engine | Made A Bang And Locked Up! 

I was yelling at you right from the get go Tom that it was a valve. That sound/180 degree thing is hard to forget. Had the same thing happen to a 14.5 Briggs vertical a while back. Piston was gouged but not cracked or punctured, put it back together with a new exhaust valve and 7 years later it's still running well. Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming!!

Great detective work and thank you for the video sir 👍😎🇺🇸

Cool ……. Get your self one of those endoscopes next time you pop into harbour freight 😊

Wow. Never seen that on a Honda before

Never dealt with Honda valve covers but, depending on the type of material holding on the valve cover, a torch and a little heat may soften the sealant enough to pry it apart without damage. Same procedure I use to remove LCD screens on Phones and Tablets only I use a hotair gun and not a torch. Good video. Thank You...

Small parts are inexpensive but that cylinder is spendy.. If customer says do it, replace both valves, new piston and rings, and a new rubber timing belt, and depends on how deep gouge is on the cylinder? might be able to hone it out enough to work.

Had one the sealer in crankcase came off got in governor under timing belt. Belt came off

It just blowed up!!!!!

Stress on a casted piece of metal , plus heat and pressure. The casting was probably faulty and developed over time to a crack , then totally broke away….. my guess

Sixty five ford had the same problem this week on the same mower

👍👍👍

Did the retainer slip off the valve stem?

I'm not Fonda of a broken Honda engine 😢😮

It's blown

Low oil ? Timing ?

Will strike hold fix it ?

Just low oil
