I've never experienced a stuck valve with this engine, so I don't know what
sort of power loss to expect.


It's not only a specific engine that characterizes the nature of a
stuck valve. The magnitude of the effect of a stuck valve can vary
depending the position in which the valve sticks. If it sticks wide
open, it could contact the piston possibly with catastrophic results.
If it just sticks open a smidgen occasionally, it would obviously be
less severe.
