is there such a magic tool? I am getting a cam, springs, and retainers soon and want to avoid taking off my head again if possible.

There is a tool that bolts to the top of the motor that allows you to remove the springs without removing the head..
You fill the cylinder with air pressure to keep the valve from falling back in..

alright, this is ghetto, but when i did mine, i just set each piston at the top while doing it. i dropped one valve, and it was a bitch to fish it up, but i got it. the second time i just used air to fill the comb. chamber so the valves stayed closed.

Or you can use rope in the cylinders to keep the valves from dropping..
