Mine also took a trip and never came back...welcome to the club...

Also, use the TDC method for holding the valves up rather than trying to stick an air fitting in each cylinder. Much easier this way.

Put #1 at TDC, do cyl 1 and 6. Rotate 90*, do 8 and 5, rotate 90*, 7 and 4, rotate one more 90*, do 2 and 3. Done.
+1 for the TDC method that's what I did...
