Van is correct, it takes a unique aproach to get it off with the head on. You can also fill the cylinder with compressed air to keep the valve up.
Filling with compressed air also serves to tell you where your leak is. Valves (air exiting the exhaust or out of your intake manifold). Rings, damaged headgasket, or cracked cylinder out through the oil fill area. Both require pulling the head. If all is sealed with compressed air, chances are high it is a broken valve spring. Hope this helps and is not to rambling.
