Now, bear with me, as I haven't a clue what I'm saying, just repeating what Andy has told me to say:

The engine is brand new, but one of the valves stays open. He's used a boroscope on it and there is absolutely nothing in there that's in the way. He tapped it lightly with a rubber mallet and is moved slightly and stopped, still open.

What could cause this?

Is the fuel thats in the tank been there for more than a few months??

Yes, it has, the tank was half full and he put in something (Stabil??), then filled it the rest of the way, so it wouldn't go bad over the winter.

Is this an "Oh Shit" item? If it's a seized valve, how to fix it?

I know a bent valve is an "Oh f***" item. If it's a bent valve, could it have been bent when the engine was put back in the car?
