WI engine stuck valves

Anonymous-0 · May 27, 2013

In the past I've used a 1/4" allen wrench to free valves. Put the short end thru the plug hole and rotate it so it's over the valve and give it a tap with a hammer. This time it didn't work so I made a receiver for the allen wrench that fit in my air chipper/hamer. Took about 30 seconds to get the valve down. A couple more times and it would go down with a tap from a hammer. It's gonna take a while but I won't have to pull the heads and deal with broken head bolts.

Before I put mine into seasonal storage I squirt oil in the direction of each valve while it is open to lube the valve stem. Then turn the engine over a few times to get the oil down the guide. This has served me quite well.

Hindsight is good. I should have done that 15 years ago.
