We own natural gas engines (Waukesha), sometimes the exhaust/intake valves were stuck in the valve guides, Do you guys know the causes and solutions to solve that issue?

Assuming factory parts and clearances, the sticking will most likely be the result of contamination buildup. Because you have a problem with both intake and exhaust valves I would look at your lubricating oil. Does it have adequate solvency to remove varnish-like contamination?
