you need something like this, http://www.jegs.com/p/Moroso/Moroso-...64238/10002/-1 ... or get creative and try to rig something up that will allow you to pull a vacuum on the valve tip and suck it back up through the guide
So, I finally got it out. First thing we tried was using a magnet. Even the speaker magnet we were using was too weak so we literally made a high powered electro-magnet out of a giant hex key, copper wire, and a car battery just to get it out. The problem is that the tube the valve stem is in is also magnetic so it didn't work as we hopped.
Since it was an intake valve I finally got it out by taking off the intake manifold and just lifted the valve back up. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. If that didn't work I was going to try to crank the engine by hand to bring it up.
Valve job finally finished!
