[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1214787, member: 17212"] timberguy. This is not that uncommon in high mileage engines. I have seen it in two engines. A YZ426f and a RM400Z. Both very high mileage engines. The cups tend to wear-in to the bore surface and produce a small lip at the top of the cup travel. Since there is nothing to grip on, it makes it very hard to remove the cup or pull it past the lip. On the RMZ, the cup was so stuck that I had to tig weld a long 1/4" bolt on to the top of the cup and improvise a small slide hammer to get it out. Inspect your valve spring to insure the inner spring is not broken and causing the outer spring to sit an an angle. If it is just a matter of high mileage wear, you can take a piece of emery cloth and massage the lip down. That will make it easier to remove the cup the next time. It would be a good idea to replace the cup with a new one. [/QUOTE]
