How bad are stuck valves?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
Pass on that. The valves could be stuck because they are bent, the result of being whacked by the pistons.

A 78 Bronco did not come with a 460. If the valves are stuck then the engine is hurt bad.

Are they actually stuck or is it a matter of excessive lifter preload holding them off their seats..?

Hard to say without a little bit of detective work. Definitely some issues and unknown's.

very bad ! then get stuck because the valve bends ! you can pull the heads and have a valve job done !

Recent attempts to start.... 2 valves are stuck causing to hydraulic thru carb. (I think I got that right). This info came from an interested buyer.

This is on a 1978 bronco with a 460ci. I don't know if the engine is factory.
