What happens here
After initial reassembly, the engine is cranked to check the valvetrain's operation. A new issue is identified: a sticky valve, despite this being a replacement engine. The team attempts to free the sticky valve using a hammer and pry bar to gently tap the rocker arm, encouraging the valve to move freely. This process requires patience and careful manipulation to avoid further damage.
Goal: Resolve the issue of a sticky valve in the newly installed engine.
