That make it simple.  Even with all that and fabricating a special tool to
compress the springs (although you could use a couple of long screwdrivers
if you are VERY carefull) is still less work than pulling the head.  Even
if it isn't stuck.

I was also told that the air pressure will force the piston to the bottom
if its stroke so turning the engine to BDC will eliminate any suprises if
you left it in gear.
