Never got it rolling but started with me heads
Valve spring commpressor in place
Compressed to access retainters
Tool I use to get retainers basically a little magnet
Retainers out there two like horse shoes
Then all you haft to do is push the valve back through,
Ending up with all this on one head
Then finished off with a blow through and boxed ready for engineer to work his madgic

I see your logic but I think all you've done there is added extra weight.
I'm no expert by any means but even the WRC cars start Strengthening work (seam welding etc) from the front strut towers backwards.
The front wants to be able to absorb any impacts not be resistant to them.
Not criticising btw just trying to be constructive
