Stuck Valve
 

I have a stuck valve that we have tried Mystery Oil, tapping on the valve and today removed the intake. The valve will not come down.

Any more ideas.


Thanks

Make sure that the cam lobe is on the 'heel'. The valve beside the stuck one should also be open. Keep in mind also, that these valves bend very easily.

Try a 50/50 mix of Acetone and Auto trans fluid.
it is cheaper than MMO and you can use a Lot more

I have read posts on here where people were able to use various home recipes to free up a stuck valve. I tried those things, and going through the intake opening as you have. I let MMO, trans fluid and WD40 soak in the guide for days. In the end, I had to remove the head to free up the valve. Hopefully, you'll have better luck with the other suggestions than I did. :)
