This is exactly how to do it, If its stuck that tight the valve prolly closed on it. crank it over by hand till the valve opens and it should let go.

Yes 243's are much better than the 241's. Worth the upgrade if your wallet allows it.

I was extremely pissed, but she is genuinely sorry and I needed to upgrade the heads and do lifters anyway, this is just a good excuse to get it done. She WILL be helping with the cost.

Whats a good place to order LS7 Lifters and Head/Exhaust Gaskets.

Wow, guess you see something new everyday haha.

BTW, doesn't take much to bend a valve. I'd make sure you pull that valve and check it very carefully because even the slightest bend and you'd be screwed.
