Hi.. I have a JD LUC Engine that has set for a while, in the DRY and Covered, I have kept it "Turned Over" to keep it Lubricated, and Valves free (I Thought) but Cranked it today and apparently the EX Valve is not seating I runs Good with that exception of this course,It IS the Cyl. nearest to the radiator,The QUESTION I Have is<> can this valve be freed up by removing the Inspection Plate at the Valve cage...?? Anyone had this situation pop up,,,Thanks Fella's Larry KF4LKU

Remove the spark plugs and put some upper cylinder lubricating oil or something of that nature, and with the plug out slowly turn the engine a couple of revolutions occasionally for a couple of days, Don't try to turn with the plugs in place, oil won't compress, and the rods may bend. After a couple of days the oil will probably all drain by the rings and valves then will not endanger the engine. You will probably need to change the oil anyway upon starting engine and it will smoke fiercely for a few minutes on startup.

Larry. I usually have good luck with this on flat head engines. In the future you might try puttin a little oil in the cylinders and rotating the engine slowly with the crank to distribute the oil before storage time. i also find that a little 2 cycle oil mixed in the gas along with the gas stabilizer helps and if you use a good grade of low ash it shouldn't smoke when running
