If you do find stuck valves, I've read that brake fluid is good for unsticking them (never tried it myself, though). The trouble will be in getting the brake fluid into the valve guides. I suppose you could put some in a spray bottle and spray that into the valve guides from the tappet area. Better yet would be to figure a way to spray it into the tops of the valve guides, but that might require removing either the head or the manifolds. That is unless you can get it in through the spark plug holes, but it's probably not good to get very much of it into the cylinder. Probably not a good enough lubricant for pistons and rings.
