Agree cotton cord is much better than using air. This may be an unnecessary reminder but you have two BDC in a cycle. Make sure that it is before the compression stroke so both valves are shut and the cord doesn't cause you grief by bending the other valve.
Help - 404 broken inlvet valve spring
Howdy,
Made a rather disastrous discovery (given it's mogstock in 10 days!) today while doing valve clearances. We've got a broken valve spring. It's the outer one of an inlet valve.
I haven't fiddled with valves for 15 or more years, and all my memories involve taking the head off. Someone, please tell me this isn't the case.

PS - anyone got a spring kicking around?
