I have a weird 'frying' sound in the bottom of a 3rd floor radiator, so I'm guessing I need to tilt it more toward the valve (the pitch is currently about 2 degrees). What is the best device/technique to raise the vent end of this radiator that is recessed into a wall alcove such that there is only about 5" clearance on either side and back? I'm leery of using a bar to leverage it, for fear of compromising a joint or connection.

gurgling with some small "popping" sounds would have me looking at pitch issues exactly as Fred described.

I've heard this "sizzling" on my system, it's basically steam/water coming through a tiny leak and it typically evaporates and never shows water. Need to catch it in the act and then act accordingly to fix it. In my case it was leaking valve packing.
