    SO it's stuck and I can't extract it. Is there a way I can remove it without damaging it?

    Due to the rust on it before, when I loosened the nut, it twisted the bolt out, too. But now, it doesn't grip like that anymore.

        Just add some washers. It's what a PO did on one of mine.

            Found the issue: the valves are bent. All of them show varying degrees of light when a flashlight is shone under them. I'm going to replace all of them. I don't think that the valves have ever been replaced on this thing, or it's been a long time.
            Where can I get a set of intake and exhaust valves for a good price? And they're all 32, right?

            This naturally begs the question: will any 32mm(?) valve work, or do I need to find specific ones?
