Jake out of curiosity, can you replace a valve spring without removing the head, by using compressed air to keep the valves closed?
On the V6 Alfa engines there is a tool that you install on the plug thread and locks the valve in the closed position, allowing you to use an external spring compressor (to replace springs or valve seals)
