Iam pretty sure everything but the valves themselves can be taken out without removing the heads ofcourse it makes the job more difficult but definantly possible.

No, you have to pull the heads to replace guides. They have to be completely disassembled and cleaned first.

Valves and valve guides need the head removed. You can do valve seals and springs with the heads on.

Stuff a length of nylon rope into the spark plug hole to fill up the combustion chamber to hold the valves up.

Just leave the end of the rope hang out so it can be removed
