Hi
My valves are seized on the rear back boxes of the standard exhaust
I’ve mananged to prize them permanently open with a seelection of tools..... hammer and large flat head screwdriver
I doubt I’ll ever be able to close them again given how stiff they were, Unless there is a magical way of getting them to release and work again??????
If not,....Should I be sealing vacuum pipes or leaving connected?
Thanks

Re: Seized valves
Depends if you want them to close again or not. I disconnected my valves to leave them permanently open. If you are happy with that then job done. If you want them to work the spray a bit of wd40 or rust release type spray and keep prodding them open and closed and they'll eventually work again.

Yes I’d like them to open/close ideally
But if I can’t get them to do so, I’ll leave them in the open position.... but what about the vacuum pipes, if the valves are stuck open, should i remove and seal the pipes? Or leave them as they are??

Re: Seized valves
I'd just leave them.
