I've not seen inside the '99 engine, but many engines can have the
springs removed and the seals replaced without removing the head. An
adapter is used to pressurize the combustion chamber through the spark
plug hole. That keeps the valves closed. If the piston is also held at
TDC, the valves can't fall far enough to get "lost" in the cylinder
should the worst happen.
