I work for an automotive restoration shop and I can't tell you how many cars we in the shop that have all the valves stuck in the guides due old varnished fuel. I completely rebuilt a 216ci six cylinder Chevy engine for a customer's 52 Chevy, he flushed the fuel system but left a layer of varnish in the tank. He installed the engine and proceeded to put 8,000 miles on it during the summer, in October when the outdoor temperature dropped, the engine would not start. He had the car towed to the shop, where I determined all the valves were stuck in the valve guides. I had to pull the head and put it in an oven to get the valves out. It was all due to the residual varnish left in the fuel tank.
Just a little FYI.
