You just screw the bolts down and torque them.
If you're going to pull springs to inspect them, I prefer compressed air in each cylinder to hold the valves up. 30-40 psi does fine. You can use a simple lever action compressor or spend the money on a double compressor from Crane Cams.

I agree, valve train from the speed of the tap.
OP, you can pick up a mechanics stethoscope to pin point the area/cylinder. you can do a cylinder kill test. I would not recommend removing the plug wire to maybe disco the injector connectors one at a time. See if the sound goes away.
