QUOTE----Put the #4 cylinder to TDC and pull that valve spring and check to make sure that valve isn’t bent/sticking.
================================================== ===
I removed the valve springs on a 289 Ford, so
I could replace valve seals, and
that was with the heads in place on a runnable 289 engine.
I did it by putting the
piston all the way up on each cylinder that I was working on.
I made a simple tool, many years ago, when I did that job. You should
be able to find a tool, or make one that will pry the spring down to
remove the keepers.
