something to think about since you'll have it a part is the valve seals stocks are known to leak

dont need a work bench to hold springs bro, you way over thinking it with that tool you can swap out the springs really easy probably 2 hours (more if you never messed with LSx heads) watch some video's on how guys are doing it that will help you out a lot

As as far as the seals leaking, what exactly are you referring to? I ordered some new seals from GM and plan on replacing them.

valve stem seals since the springs are being swapped
you dont pull every thing a part at once, just 2 at a time and to help with the ocd get a sharpy and mark every second rocker that way you dont get them mixed up
some times on CL you can fine a commercial grade bench pretty cheap

i just went to the dealership and ordered springs, seals and valve cover gaskets today. I'm going to look into a valve spring tool and a spark plug hole air hose adapter next.
I need to to build myself a workbench for the garage before I tear into it though...that way it all stays organized. I have a small pancake style air compressor that I use for tire inflation...I'm assuming that will be plenty to keep my valves from dropping. I'll have to check my service manual and see what psi is required.

This way is safer as you use the piston itself to stop the valves from dropping.
