What would stick?
Guides...
As a valve wears in the guide, it gets looser.
Locks...
Ya locks stick to the stem all the time. Whack the spring a few times with a dead blow.
Valve to seat...
Should be minimal and easily overcome with your hand. The valve seals will also tend to hold the valves up.
Totally removing the valve...
No reason to do this with a cam swap, but pulling the tip through the guide can sometimes be a problem. The stem tips mushroom. You need to file them down if thats the case.
