396 Gaskets?

Gluing the valves in the heads is exactly what happened. Added fresh gas, started it up and it ran fine for about two minutes then started running rough. Went to restart it and it acted like the timing was off but it was the valves hanging in the guides. So now I got a new gas tank, pickup, fuel pump, filter etc. I haven't decided what to do with the carb yet. The truck will run again but what a mess.
