Do you track your car? Curious about the 20k/mi mark for spring swaps. I will be in the same boat, but figured for how I drive the car, I would probably aim for 30k/mi spring change. Unless I start really winding the engine out regularly, then I could see myself changing every 20k/mi. If inflation holds steady, should be roughly ~$400 service, or call it $500 service if you want to throw on seals since you already have the springs out.
Also, can't you just put the piston at top and let the valve sit on it? Or is there really that much clearance you wouldn't be able to compress the springs far enough to set the locks back on? I've never done it with the heads on, but I'll want to know for future servicing.
