Default Re: Stuck valves - advice please

What’s wrong with pulling the head?

That’s my last resort, after I’ve tried other cures. If I break a head stud, I don’t have the equipment or skill to extract it, especially if it breaks below the block surface. At that point, I have to haul the engine, or the whole car, to a more skilled and better equipped person to pull my chestnuts out of the fire.

I’m certainly not a machinist!
