I had a Wisconsin engine on a Hobart welder that had a stuck valve that I sprayed wd-40 on it and let the cam push it open again....done this a few times and then fired her up...still missing....took out plug and done the above again with no help...till I started thinking...the wd-40 was being burned with combustion! Put lubricating oil on it and it leveled right out. I had taken the head off and twisted two head bolts off that I had to drill out before using the oil. In your case, I"d say work some thin oil in it and don"t get in a hurry.....just try to work it back and forth. Also, tap it sideways as you"re doing this and use some common sense when you do it and use a brass drift. If it doesn"t co-operate, I would rather take off the exhaust manifold and work it from there...it"ll be right in alignment with one exhaust port. Fred OH
