I have a parts manual soundguy. I got to the valves today, but during the day my dad spoke to his mechanic at work. The man said on the two or three he did, there were two shim like pieces under the spring to keep it tight(picture 1).... My father also got a spring compressor tool, we then tightened the spring up(picture 2), which opened the valve. We then manually pushed tehe valve closed, which pushed the shims out. After that the valves came right out. I then cleaned up the seats with a wire wheel and a bench wire wheel for the valve. I also took a few pics of my workshop, nothing special, just something to share.
EDIT: The pics are out of order, but the shim is in my hand and the compressor is still in the block.
