how to free sticky exhaust valve f150 in easy steps?

so, i was driving my f150 one day, and it started making this weird noise. sounded like a dying cat or something. After some digging, found out it was a sticky exhaust valve. kinda freaky right? But then I remembered my buddy had the same issue, so I thought why not try it myself.

first step, i started with some penetrating oil. just spray it on the valve and let it sit for like an hour. super easy. then i cranked the engine a few times to see if it would loosen up. it was a bit scary, but nothing blew up, so that was good.

after that, i took it for a little spin. and hey, no more weird noises. like magic. did it work for you too or was it all a fluke? Anyway, just keep an eye on it, cause you never know when it might stick again.
