[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1126476, member: 9096"] Oh, one word about using hydraulic pressure.. make sure the piston has somewhere to go and isn't at BDC already.. TDC isn't good either... best is if they're around 1/3rd of the way down mark, and if the valves aren't stuck, you can always back them off to close them to build the pressure. If that works and you have a stuck valve, they usually arent' too badly stuck, and tapping on them will get them moving again.. then put the piston at TDC, remove the spring retainers, and turn them with a drill.. of course this might be a flathead, on which you can't do that. We have an old '29 buick 6 cylinder, looks like a nice engine, Overhead valves must have been deluxe for it's time. [/QUOTE]
