You can change them without removing the head. But you want some one who knows what they are doing. If they drop a valve inside the cylinder the head will have to come off regardless. To do it without removing the head the engine has to be locked at tdc then compressed air down the spark plug hole. It's a time consuming job. Depending where you go any thing from 2hours labour +
