<VV> Are the valves supposed to be movable by hand?

Thanks Bob.

Ill look at the lifters.  The engine is as clean as a whistle inside, no
crud, nothing.  The heads are the same.  I took the covers off and no crud
there either.  Now I guess Ill have to pull the engine out to get the heads
off.  Dont really have room for that, but I am going to drive this thing
this year!
