I assume you had the vise grips on the lash cap, put them on the valve stem(not tight) and use a hammer hitting up on the vise grips EDIT Or you could get fancy and make a slid hammer set up with a U shape.... of course this is if you can compress the spring enough

I did that once 20 years ago ,droped a intake in a cyl on a V12 650kw genset, and thats the kinda karma Ive had with these valve seals so far , I should just pull the head and cut it to the chase,

Dont have lots of room between crank and rad , Ive been puting a wedge in the power steering belt @ the pully , it has worked in the past but I dont think its fool proof & the way this has been going so far, I havent caught a break on simple things messing up
i had to put w wood wedge in the starter gear to trans case to tighten the crank bolt.

A buddy showed me this. With rockers and spark plugs pulled. Get a small diameter rope a few feet long. Tie a knot in one end. Insert other end into the plug hole and keep feeding rope into hole. Rotate piston as far up into the cylinder as possible. Pop spring off and rope will keep valve up in head. This works good at the track if you have no air. Beep
used to do this with my little goped scooters, kept the piston from moving so i could take the flywheel nuts off!
