Do they work?
I don't know, I have always opted to remove the head and give it a full service while it is off. This way my new seals are working with a decoked head, lapped valves and new head gasket. Its only a few more bolts once the cam / rocker is out of the way.
You could try and if it goes wrong you have a need to remove the head.
