I have used brake cleaner as a solvent to free sticky valves that are sticking from gum and varnish on them. Just flood it on, wait a few minutes and turn the engine over. Keep doing this until it frees up. May want to check your pushrods after you get it free. Sticky valves sometime cause bent push rods.
My neighbor swore that a pint of automatic transmission fluid in a full tank of gas prevented them from sticking. I couldn'rt swear that it worked but he did.
