Me too.Fuel laying in the intake manifold had evaporated leaving a tar-like residue which was inducted into intake ports,coating the valve stems such that they stuck in the guides.The valve springs couldn't compensate for the resistance and I had all 4 pistons kissing all 4 intake valves.Very scary!
I've pulled the head,disassembled,and cleaned it.Perhaps by Monday I'll have 'life' again.
Don't ya just love IC technology?
