[QUOTE="sparkywig, post: 568386, member: 3541"] Stuck valves are usually a sign of worn valve guides, Stu. Has the bus been running OK previously? What cylinder is the stuck valve on? Turn the engine by hand until the relevant cylinder is at Bottom Dead Center (farthest away from the valves), then tap the stem of the valve with a plastic or brass hammer, or piece of wood between a normal hammer and the valve stem/spring retainer. You might be lucky and it may pop back up. Turn the engine over by hand a few times to see if it sticks again. [/QUOTE]
