yeah you can put in springs without removing the heads, you need a spring compressor from your parts store, you compress it and remove the retainer then they pop off

WARNING!!!!!! make sure the piston is at the top of the
cylinder before removing spring or your valve can fall into
cylinder.

whats the pain about it?just removing all the crap?do they need to be adjusted or just slapped on?will i need to remove the lower intake? i know these are newb questions but i want to be sure.

No the lower can stay on, be sure the piston is at the top of its stroke or you will loose the valve.......thats a must! As well their are little keepers in the valves that have a tendency to fall out and down into the engine e sure to cover the area you are working on with a cloth or plug the holes in the heads with something......Another little tip is remove the rockers then get a socket the fits over the valve keepers, put it overtop and give it a wack with a hammer.... it breaks the keepers loose and makes it easier to fall out. I had to do this to all my valves to get the keepers out. Takes some time to figure a strategy out but once you have it it takes no time at all.
