Alternately pry up, and tap, and if it moves at all, it should free up. www.kanolabs.com Kroil is one of the best penetrating oils I've ever used, even frees up rusted engines with a little time and work.

try some P B Blaster penertrating oil on stuck parts lots of it let sit over night Start motor tap lightly on parts to free valve.
It has worked for me, add some marvel mystery oil to crankcase do not over fill it also helps free things up. Has motor sat long without runing? Let us know how you make out Bill | | |

It's made in my hometown, Nashville, and I buy direct from the factory. I've got a gallon on hand just about all the time.

I went out tonight to spread spring for another coat and it popped loose. That KROIL still intrigues me. Thanks for your suggestions | | |
