Re: [Amc-list] 66 Ambo compression/unstuck valves

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I wonder if it is also connected to the changing formulation of gas over the years?
I put several cars back on the road after sitting for years in 79-84 or so. I never had this problem. One or two had sat for a good 10 years. I never gave much thought to fuel then. I just added gas and got them running. 
  Inever had one stick a valve either. 
   My American sta from 87-92 and as far as I know it was not started at all during that time. I had no problems with it either.
   Now it seems to be a common thing for the valves to get this crud from gooey old gas and stick!
