My Mk1 Jetta's 1.8L VW head has a built-in valve girdle casting. Sadly this tool wouldn't work here. Still, a good tool if you need to replace springs, retainers or valve oil stems seals on traditional heads with free-standing valves, like the SBC head in the video.
I would guess, that you would need to have that cylinder on top dead center, so the valve doesn’t drop in the cylinder?
Correct and use compressed air in the cylinder, to prevent the valve from falling down into the cylinder.
