Sticking exhaust valves, wierd case here!
Hey gang!
Just finished replacing my valve seals on my h23, and i noticed that on my #4 cylinder both valves are sticking to their seat. I get a great leakdown result, but if i try to push manually those 2 valves (with the wood end of a hammer for example) they are hard to push down initially then the rest of the course is fine. Everytime they come back to their seating place they seem to be sticking to it.
Every other valve, intake or exhaust, moves smoothly in any way.
Should i be concerned about possible engine failure?

Turn the engine over by hand. How does this feel. Make sure you turn the engine in the direction that it would spin normally.
