I'm interested in doing this also. Wouldn't cranking the engine so that the pistons involved in the valves being changed would be at TDC be extra insurance that the valve won't fall in? This is probably the one thing stopping me from doing this - the possibility of disaster in spite of being careful and having the right tools (compressor, magnet, I even bought seal installers).
