mine need doing too i think, but the heads only just gone back on after a rebuild (i bought dodgy stem seals, retard!) handy to know it can be done without removing the head.
Just feed nylon rope into the combustion chamber through plug hole, then turn engine so the piston compresses the rope holding the valve in place, so the only cost is rope and seals instead of new gaskets, a freeze etc.

Ta next question is how to compress the spring?? i can see how the rope is better that compressed air
That's the big question, I usually knock something up if needing to do something along these lines on a 1 off basis, but never done cossie in situ.
