I got some time to work on the Civic this weekend. I pulled the head back off. I started playing around with it and noticed those two valves were not the ones that were replaced. I continued playing around and noticed they were sticking. I was able to free one up with a bit of tapping on it to make it go back and forth. The other one was stuck and I could move it (with a hammer tapping lightly), but it would not free up to the point where the spring would return it to being properly seated. So, I ended up pulling it out. The shaft had some rust on it. So, I took some scotchbrite to it and cleaned it up. I threw just a little lube on it and put it back in and it now glides nicely through the guide.
I got the head back on, but its not torqued down yet. Another good night or two and this thing should be all back together and running. Hopefully that can happen this week.
