If on TDC, is there still a chance the valve will fall down? Deck height is stock and valve notches are maybe a little bigger than standard because I had to get the compression down a little with 462cui and 72cc heads. Still they are not massive... I think the pistons have -12cc or something like that.

The rope seems to be a good idea, since air pressure would force the piston down.
