Set the cylinder of the seals being changed to TDC and they won't drop much at all. Triple check to make darn sure its at TDC or you'll be pulling the head to retrieve a valve.
If you are good enough to do an engine swap yourself, stem seals shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. Document 05-270.pdf on the service CD. (
