Here's what I do when putting the heads on:

Slip the head onto the studs, but far enough that the PR tubes can 
still slip in. Then slip one PR tube at a time into place and skewer 
a PR through it so it can't fall back out. Once all 4 tubes are in 
place I can jiggle (that's the tech term) them around until they are 
all lined up and then push the head the rest of the way onto the 
studs.

I never thought of it before, but having the PR already in the PR 
tube helps block the entry of errant nuts.
