A system includes a reciprocating engine having a piston disposed in a cylinder, an intake valve, an exhaust valve, and an exhaust flow path downstream of the exhaust valve. The system also includes a first sensor configured to obtain a first feedback indicative of an exhaust gas parameter in the exhaust flow path. The system also includes a controller configured to identify a valve wear condition of at least one of the intake valve or the exhaust valve at least partially based on the first feedback from the first sensor.
