Problem adjusting valves

52 Super A . I attempted to adjust the valves for the first time tonight . I got all eight nuts free but can't 5 of the valves to turn with the slotted
screwdriver . I have put penetrating oil on them for the night and wondered if anyone had another suggestion that I could try .
Thanks . Brian
 
Heat the rocker with a propane torch focusing on the outside of the adjuster not the stud. Not too hot, maybe one minute of heat. Jim
 
Yep some times they can be very hard to get to move due to the fact they get hammered when the engine is running. I keep on hand a screw driver that has a square shaft so I can use a wrench for more torque.
Also as Jim says heat does help but be careful not to get it to hot or you can catch things on fire
