You can get this adaptor at Napa auto parts.

If I recall it was between 10$ and 20$.

I used it to change a broken exhaust valve spring on my 6 on my 6 instead of
pulling the head.

After you check the valve lash, you can get an adaptor at the local
autoparts
store that screws into the spark plug hole so you can inject air into the
cylinder.
Do this with that cylinder down and both valves closed.  Find where the air
exits
the engine.  I had a car with a breezeout the exhaust, that told me it was
the
exhaust valve.
