Its not necessary to turn the motor over unless there is a reason you'd like to do it to change the valve springs.

You didnt understand my post correctly, I know you are changing valve springs, you dont need to turn the motor over to do them.

Why are you using a remote starter? You can just put a wrench on the crankshaft bolt and turn it by hand.

I had to turn the motor over to make sure the valves didnt fall into the bore incase the piston was at BDC

I didnt have anyone to help me find split overlap and didnt want to chance dropping a valve.
