Sticking valves was part of the test we did in the 70's. We got a 1964 chevy that was parked for over 5 years and it still had a 1/4 tank of gas. We cut the gas supply line going to the fuel pump, we added a fuel hose where we cut the line so we could use a can with fresh gas. we ran the engine on fresh gas and it ran fine. Before we closed up shop and went home we'd hook the hose to the line coming from the tank and run the engine for 30 minutes or so on the old gas. shut it down and go home, next morning hit the starter and bust or bend about 5 or 6 push rods. Tap on the valves to free them up, then replace the push rods and add different gas additives to the old gas which never worked. We'd run it on fresh gas and then the old gas before we closed and it busted push rods every morning.
