I hope you drained the old gas out and are using
new. I ran a car on a mixture of old and new gas no knowing old gas will make it
like glue and it stuck my valves open. It this is the case you'll be pulling
those heads again.

Subject: IML: my 47 will i ever get her
running
This car use to run great but after sitting for 8 years I
am having a ton of problems. My main concern right now is its running really
rough. I opened those viewing windows and saw that I have two valves stuck
open. This is what I don't get. I can see them being stuck closed but opened ?
aren't they under spring pressure to close ? what would cause them to stay
open. I all ready pulled the head cleaned the seats rotated the cam by hand
till the valves were all working. Put it all back together and it ran great
for 10 minutes . then really rough again. It sounds like the valves are open
again. Any quick fixes like thin or thick oil any tricks anyone has . I
need to drive this car cause I am still trying to loosen the rear hubs
