I thought pulling the motor and heads would be a good idea and pray that nothings wrong with the cylinders and piston heads/rings. I don't know anything about this stuff but my hope is to replace the head gaskets and hoses,tb,etc, clean up then drive off into the sunset.

Sorry lost momentum as the 1st post says nothing about blow by.

Anyways, a stuck valve is a stuck valve and maybe it can be un-stuck by running it a little. How would it hurt?

Also, you should read my 54 pages of my Project. I took my car to a local German mechanic to see if he could get me some A/F reading as and set it so I could pass smog. Well, his suggestion for a little white smoke when cold was to rebuild both heads because they were most likely cracked. I said funk that. A year later and I haven't seen that white smoke in almost a year. Also, had low compression in one of my cylinders, guess what my readings are now? Run it and see what happens. Also, like I said, do a compression test. All that stuff I mentioned your going to have to do anyways if you pull the engine.
