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)

Thanks, Gilles
