Depending on mileage you may want to consider new valve guide seals. The new design includes the seat and the seal - easy install while you have the spring off.

Do the TDC method for springs.
Bring piston 1 to TDC (using a tool) change 1& 6 (both at TDC), rotate crank clockwise 90*, and continue the next 2 cylinders using the firing sequence.
