when i did the valve springs in my ls1, i just used a piston stop tool to put each cylinder to TDC, and didnt bother using anything to hold up the valves, they weren't going anywhere, i tried.

i wouldn't do the rope thing, with my luck id somehow forget it or i'd turn the crank and it'd fall all the way in.

and that reminds me, i gotta work on my car...
