I am not 100% sure of this by any means but if you take a look at the picture attached it looks like it may be possible to get to the Valve springs without removing the rocker assembly. Maybe they will all pivot up enough to gain access?
I have never done this but is there not a trick where some kind of special "rope" is put into the cylinder via the spark plug hole and then when the cylinder is at tdc the rope holds the valves closed?
It doesn't sound easy but neither does removing the heads with the engine in the car
