wha wha wha???
hold the horse there buckaroo, you should save yor money rebuiliding the head and why do u need to replace valves??
take paper towel and twist it into a long shape use capillary action to wick away the oil in the tube so you can have a good look at whats preventing you from getting a socket onto the sparkplugs hex.
Check your sparkplug socket to be sure the rubber is still inside the socket and not down #3 sparkplug tube,
there should be nothing solid inthere except oil so the socket should go down ( did a piece of the sparkplug wire boot tear off in there?
anyways to rebuild the head or swap valves just for leaky tube seals is a huge waste IMHO

rubber is still in the socket, no piece of boot in there, i can see the hex on all plugs except 3. it wouldn't surprise me if the idiots who rounded my oil drain plug did it to the spark plug somehow too.
