sticking exhaust valves

Well, as you can tell from the subject line I have problems. My exhuast valves seem to be sticking after my engine warms up producing a total power fall off and non stop backfires.

Is there any hope of an engine flush doing any good or is this a total overhaul situation??

Not a Total overhaul. Sounds like the valve guides may be too tight; Pull heads off and ream 'em out a hair.

make sure your valve adjustment is right before proceding to a teardown...
