Hang onto your old head gasket!
Before reinstalling the valves to my cylinder head, fresh from the machine shop, I duct-taped the old ch gasket to it, in position.
This gave me access to the combustion chambers, but meant that any clumsiness when wrestling with the valve spring compressor (and teasing the cotter pins ) didn't result in my scratching the newly-machined surface. When researching the job, I didn't see that tip anywhere (which is why I had to return to the machine shop after my first attempt to reinstall the valves). Fortunately I hadn't thrown the old gasket away.

Good tip.
On old ohv engines, I used to use the same bit of cardboard that kept the push-rods in order.
