Matt...Please explain how to do this on a fully assembled, in the car and

NO!  you do it after you pulled the head...shows whether the valves are 
really the culprit..

NOW  you are apart...but would've then pulled the barrel....no wasted labor!

PS   do this when buying used heads.....usually drops the price dramatically!
