You failed to mention if your removing the valve springs with the heads installed on the truck or off > Can be done either way but you need to hold up the valve or it will drop into the cylender > they make a tool screws into your spark plug hole and you hook a compresser to it keeping constant air flowing into the cylender all the time till back together > then on to the next one > remove your PC valve and dip stick to give plenty a relief for the air going into the crank case.
