Thanks, Joey. I am hoping that I will get lucky and be able to get away with I really good cleaning. Not sure tho at the intake on the #1 seem "more stuck" then the rest of them. So I went out there after letting the MMO sit, got a wood dowl, put it in the center and hammered them down. They were WAY to stuck for the grab it from the bottom thing, I tried it. So then I used the starter to spin it over and the same four stuck again, more MMO, tapped them down again, got them stuck again, more MMO then let them sit. When I go out there I am blocking the holes that drain to the crank case and when I tap them down this next time I will blast it from the bottom with carb cleaner before I get them stuck again, and repeat that a few times. anyone know where I can get one of the scissor type valve spring compressors that allow me to do the job of removing the valves without having to remove the Manifolds? Thanks, Steve
