No need to get paranoid! As long as you lock your cams in position and don't move the crankshaft (easily checked with the alignment marks) you'll be fine. If you don't have the proper pins, a couple of 6mm drill bits will do the job (held in with masking tape). As I mentioned earlier, they will only both engage when the motor is in the correct position (horizontal cylinder at TDC on the power stroke). Using a torch, you can see where the pins locate through the access hole.

Just remember to remove the pins before you try to turn over the motor!
