Great advice well stated. If you want to do this yourself, you will need (along with about a year of patience) a valve spring compressor, a rotary cup wire brush, a plastic faced hammer, and a supply of clean rags and a 2foot long piece of cardboard about 8 inches wide. The valves will come apart using the compressor, and should be put into the cardboard in order front to back (important) clean all components before disassembly. Work on spread out cloth. put a rag over the retainers when taking the springs and clips off to prevent loss. Befor removing the spring on the stuck valve, it is necessare to free it up. Spray PB blaster onto the stem From both the top and chamber sides and tap on it squarely both toward closed, and toward open. Do not beat it. Heating it with a propane torch around the head casting until it is warm (stay away from the spring) will assist in getting it free. Then you will be able to get the retainer off of it. To assist removal of the retainers I always use a 5/8" deep socket and the plastic hammer to unset the keepers. Place the socket over the valve stem and on the retainer. Strike the socket hard enough to bounce the retainer down on the valve stem about 1/16"/ this unseats the wedges and makes getting it apart with the compressor much easier. Clean and wire brush all valves to bare metal (do not grind on them) and wear a respirator, the dust is likely to contain lead and other bad compounds. Then take it in to be serviced. You will save some on disassembly and cleaning. JimN

On July 4th 1998 my dad and I was sitting on the front porch when he said that he was going to sell his two 10-20's to a junk man. He said that the junk man was going to give him $500 for both of them but he hadn't received the money for them yet. So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
