Default Inline 6, valve sticking!

Truck had been sitting for quite a while. Anyone know any tips/tricks to free this up without having to pull the head?

With the valve cover off, soak the stuck valve with penetrant overnight, and making sure the rocker isn't touching the valve, tap it with a mallet, also you might try the rope trick in thru the spark plug hole and push up on the valve with the piston.

Don't know about Marvel but I would run some Seafoam in the oil and gas to clean it out.
