Hey Keith, question for you.

Is the gas valve pressure something you normally check as part of your inspection?

Had some HVAC repairs done and the guy noticed my furnace was running extremely hot, he checked the pressure at the valve with his manometer and it was over 6 and couldn't be adjusted down any further. (he stated the standard is 3-3.5 and my furnace manual showed that as well)

So I didn't know if this has been faulty since new or if this is something that has failed recently. You've been out twice since we built the house, so I figured I'd check with you.

Thanks

Note: I know the company quite well and the people who own it, so I trust this isn't some shady move to fix something that isn't broke.
