    Shove a long rod, or Phillips head in one of those 2 big holes on the arched gear (top left) before you undo all the bolts on the geardrive, use an old battery or 12V to spin the motor, you'll see what I mean when you're doing it. The spring is VERY strong.!

    Thats exactly the direction i was going with the question , 
    have heard of pushrods being bent trying to fight against valve spring tension . 
    Ive always done rockers up by winding over to get the cam lobe away from the lifter on each available cylinder

    I don’t want to sound like a smart arse but I think dex might have been suggesting that the motor should be turned over so that when pulling the rockers down that it’s not fighting valve spring tension. That’s just the way I understood what he was saying as previous conversation was that the motor shouldn’t be turned over too much without oil being properly primed up
