Just a thought if it would be easyer to remove/replace the vss with the spring out and not have to worry about trying to keep the valve from falling into the cylander.

Haven't tested this on my engine yet
I can measure this on the head to see whether the intake or exhaust valves could actually fall into the engine (Valve angle may cause the valve to hit the cylinder before the stem comes out of the guide.)
With piston at TDC I am sure the valve would not fall into the cylinder but I am not not sure if there is enough clearance to remove the spring.
Allowing the valve to slide down inside the guide would be a PITA to retreive. O ring on a string keeps the the valve from dropping through the guide while removing the spring.
