Yes it is in my living room lol. I don't typically do work in there but the keepers on the valves are so damn tiny and I didn't have any extras and I didn't want to lose any so I brought it in on the wood floor so I would be able to find on if I dropped any.

Yes, word to the wise, plug the oil galleys with shop towel wads. My first LNF still has a retainer floating around in there somewhere. I have a valve spring set like that red one too. If it has an air chuck for the spark plug hole watch that thing if your doing an on engine job. Mine had a shrader valve in it for some dumb reason and it wouldnt pressurize the cylinder and I found that out the hard way when I touched the valve stem and it vanished before my eyes! I never would of thought they would have put one in there. Ended up dropping a valve during a spring swap as a result. I was able to pull the intake and use a piece of metal brake line with some tie wire forming a loop inside it, and it was a PITA, but eventually i got it into the guide. Stupid things to watch out for....

A poorman alternative is to buy one of
then make the adapter cup. Use conduit then cut out a notch as needed to access the keys, the shape is sort of like this -> http://www.lasertools.co.uk/items/large/5495_Right.jpg.
