Don't think I would feel comfortable trying that. Pulling injectors will happen regardless if you end dropping a valve.

absolutely you can. @ tdc the valve will fall 1/8 of an inch maybe? have a magnet on the stem as you remove the keepers just so you have a hold of things if you arnt right on the money. installation of the new springs is tricky if the piston isnt all the way to the top because you have to smash the new spring farther to get the retainer and keepers back on. be careful, watch your valves as you roll the engine over and it will go fine.
