Maybe a leaking fuel injector, fuel smell. Did you remove injectors and use new o-rings upon reinstall?

No.

You will need to remove the valvecovers to get to the valves.

You can replace the valve seals without removing the heads.

You will need a adapter that puts compressed air in the cylinders to hold the valves up, and a overhead valve spring compressor. Essentially you put compressed air in the cylinders to hold the valves up so that they don't drop into the cylinder.
