Has it been running previously on WVO. If it has, you may be able to revive it a little by unsticking the rings.

I'll do the valves. Not sure about running on WVO previously. As far as I can tell it hasn't but who knows if someone was just pouring it in the gas tank.
This is unrelated but related to doing the valves. I was going to do the valves but then I couldn't get my wrench position figured out. How can I turn the engine with a wrench? Its the bottom pulley below the fan(not the fan pulley) where you need a long socket and extension to get in there? If so, how do you manage to turn it? Do you do it under the car or while above?
