Afraid you need to pull the heads off to install them. Sounds like the spring loaded are the way you should go

You can find a bunch of shops on here that are reliable and would have them in stock. Check out the classifieds, search pushrod tube.

Clean the block and head areas well. Coat the end seals with aviation gasket sealer and I doubt if they will leak again.
Adjust the valves and replace rocker cover gaskets too .
