Does the head need to be removed to change the valve springs? If not I'm still not sure I'd like to do it myself. I'd be afraid of dropping a valve into the combustion chamber. On a gasser I knew a trick which was nothing more than stuffing cotton cord into the cylinder through the spark plug hole then gently bring the piston to the top. make sure you still have cord hanging out the hole!
