dude, that is not the valve stuck closed but rather the lifter stuck.
Different problem.

besides, the original poster did not say he had a bunch of valves stuck (how
would he know if a valve were stuck closed? he couldn't for the engine
wouldn't turn over, and if perhance it could be foreced over it would break the
valve train, making for lots of other and obvious problems.)

dude, have you **ANY** idea what a camshaft does for a living?

Obvisously not.

go back and play with your ticker toys.

Why do you insist on insulting people, Assby?. I've seen valves stuck closed
with bad hydraulic lifters. Absolutely. Esp in engines that have sat for
long
periods.
