Get the tool! KD Tool 2078. IIRC. NAPA about $25. Do the companion cylinder method, that way you can do two cylinders per rev of the crank. Rotate the crank 3 times instead of 6. Companion cyl method is for example when cyl #1 is at TDC, cyl #6 is up too, whatever you call that stroke etc. You can remove the valve spring and the valve will sit ontop the piston for each (#1,#6). I'd have to search or I am just too tired to tell ya which are the other companion cylinders... 2/4, 3/5 maybe.. been a long night.
