For the stuck valve- try both acrylic lacquer thinner and acrylic enamel reducer (not at the same time). Tap lightly with a brass hammer on the valve tip. If you get any movement at all, blow out around the stem with compressed air, then repeat.

Default Tear It Down Time

I went ahead and pulled the heads, The valves would seat as bad as they are.
It will make it easier to pull the motor with the heads off anyway.
I'm going to re-ring it and do a valve job, Probably have to replace some valves
to cause they look pretty ruff. Heres some pics of the progress.

Any of you guy's got any used valves for a 347-motor?
Maybe Pontirag will see this and let me know what he's got.
I need some used pistons for the 57-wagon motor also.

Thanks GT.

Engine doesn't look bad at all. Do you think the valve stem bores in the heads were harmed at all by removing the old valves? If so, I think you can still buy new oversize-stem valves (+.003"?) from Pioneer. How do the water distribution tubes look? Stainless?

Actually the guides aren't bad at all, The valves them self are rusted bad.
The heads cleaned up good I sand blasted them today and are washing
them tonight with solvent and laqure thinner.
I sent Pontirag a PM to see what parts he might have.
The tube in one head looks fine haven't checked the other yet.
I'll post some more pics later.

I refuse to answer on these grounds: I've still got the makin's of a '58 engine lying around, so I'll selfishly hold onto my old spare valves!
