If the valve moved back up when the engine was hand cranked over, I think thats a goos thing.

Seems like it should be able to be made to be pulled back down. As stated it should take a few tries to get it completely free. Spray from the top and bottom and twisting with tapping it down should work. This has been going on for too long.

I'm wondering if the valve is bent. If something got under the face it may have bent it.

I have a feeling you want to take the head off. I think that'll be a bigger challenge.
