Might work, give it a try. My own experience is that the jam nut method doesn't hold the stud sufficiently tight to fully tighten the interference thread into the block. Stud installing/removing tools I'm familiar with use a knurled wheel to jam and hold the stud and as that would ruin the thread, you've got to grasp it in the center section between the threaded ends, thus meaning the head must be off.

If you need a picture of a stud remover/installer let me know.
