I wouldn't pull the head. I would do as Tom has suggested. I did that on a 1957 Chevy. You will need to get that piston to TDC on the compression
stroke. When you remove that sparkplug reconnect it to the plug wire. With the plug grounded have some slowly bump the engine over until the plug fires with the starter. You may need to pull the
other plug wires to keep the engine from starting.
Put a piece of tape on the other wires and a number as to where they were removed. That was the first valve spring that I had to break. I should've installed new springs when we redid the head. Hal
