Default Needed - help with cam install

So, in short, I am in need of some assistance with a cam install on my truck. The problem I have is I don't have an air compressor for holding the valves up.

I am in the Atlanta area. I can provide all the parts, lunch/beer and possibly some pocket cash (I'll make it worth your while).

I'm doing a quick swap with springs/pushrods/cam. I am not wanting to pull the oil pump off.

If anyone is willing to help me, I can drive to you, we can do the swap, have some laughs and you can make some quick $$$.

I am limited to weekdays due to a busy family schedule on the weekends.

Thanks in advance,

Why dont you rotate the engine so that the cylinder you are working on the piston is TDC to hold the valves up? I have done dozens like this and never had an issue.
