As far as stopping valves from falling into the cylinder, I find it easier to remove the belts and turn the piston up (gently) to stop it falling.

Good info though.

Thank you.

I'll add that in there as an option later today. The more info the better to cater for different approaches. Totally makes sense. When I started doing it I was trying to avoid taking as much of it apart as possible thinking it would be quicker and simpler but with the time I wasted trying to do that I may as well have slipped the belts off!!
