Thanks for any suggestions. Dave

Dave, I would run a compression test first before you do anything else. What repairs did you do to free up the sticking valve?
Sounds like you may have a warped or cracked head, but if you isolate the problem to a particular cylinder, it'll be easier to find the problem, no?
