you might want to practice on an engine in a pick&pull if you fear hurting yours.

you should stop if you find a wobbly guide, as that is a far worse problem than a bad valve seal and has some of the same oil consumption symptoms some times.

To hand crank the engine around, you can reach up from the bottom under the fan and a 3" extension should be sufficient. No need to remove the radiator. Removing the plugs will make hand cranking easier.
