thank you very much for the tips........i have a funny feeling im going to have to pull the head as well.....before i started the engine i put on a new fuel pump and ran aviation fuel through the engine..100LL...i always use avgas on my old antique autos.........ive never had a valve freeze such as this one...usually a little tap loosens them up...not this time....i think that brass oil line that connects to the rocker feed tube has been broken for awile and the rockers never received enough oil.......thanks again...i like this site
