William Mangum I wouldn't disturb the head just yet,if it will roll thru without much trouble. Sticky valve guides are very common on these engines. Soak your cyliders with marvel mystery oil,same on valve guides,change out damaged parts. Be sure it will roll thru without clashing and try again. Had one in 82 that bent a pushrod days later after I drove it,fixed that it's still running today,strong too was 216. They're tougher than you think. I'd give it a pint of marvel in the gas tank too.
