Those cylinders are subject to draw moisture due to temperature and humidity changes. I'd suggest backing all the valve adjustments off enough to close all the valves, then use a pry bar on the rocker arms to cycle the valves up and down as you soak the guides with penetrating oil. Put plenty of penetrant into all the spark plug holes and wait- - - -several weeks if possible. A 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone is probably the best, and least expensive penetrant you can use. Jerry
