Well I decided why not and whacked the stuck valve with a hammer and dowel. It sprung right out and now my car is running again. Hooray! Valve job? I thought these engines ran forever without anything other than oil and gas! It's entirely possible that this engine has never had a valve job. Having freed the valve I suppose I would be foolish to think that I could just start driving mindlessly again. Is this valve likely to continue sticking without attention? I suppose I know the answer already. What then is involved in a 'valve job?' I guess I'll have to pull the engine and take the heads to a good shop, what else?
