Hi Bummer, I don't know if you can still do the old mechanic's trick with the nylon rope on the newer Chevy engines or not. Here is the trick: 1)Remove spark plug from bad cylinder and with piston in the down position, tie a big knot on one end of 1/4 inch nylon rope and feed the other end in thru the spark plug hole into the engine cylinder, then rotate engine with socket wrench on crankshaft pulley nut until piston and rope limit at the top. This will hold valve in closed position. 2)Now with proper tools remove and replace valve spring. 3)With socket wrench on crankshaft pulley nut, reverse direction until rope can be remove from spark plug hole. Good luck JB2
