================================================== ===
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.

I was going to say- piston to TDC and/or stuff the cylinder with rope and it won’t fall in.
Thanks for the tip about not running with the cover off. I did see a video with one cut open and peeled back, but not off, that’s why I asked.
We’ll see how it goes...
Thanks again!
