Default Re: Stuck valve?

I will second what Rotorwrench said. Use a good penetrating oil. A combination of automatic transmission oil and kerosene has been reported to work well. Also Coke or white vinegar. After the penetrating oil and removing the spring, try twisting the valve to break it loose.
