97 club car valve sticks

aaronmurphy1976

I have a 97 club car ds with a fe290 engine that sat for a couple of years. Needless to say it was a little gummy inside. I took it apart and cleaned it all up and found a stuck valve. I got the valve out and cleaned it up put it back and it was free while working it by hand. I put it back in buttoned everything back up and it ran fine for awhile. It quit running so I took the valve cover off and the valve stuck again. I repeated the process a couple more times but it still sticks. I thought the valve was bent but it is not. The only thing I can think of is there is a problem with the head but not sure. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What did you use to clean the valve guide inside? Theres got to be something in side the valve guide, rust or something. Need to find a small wire brush to clean it, something like a barrel cleaner for a 22 rifle maybe???????
