Hell you dont have to use the TDC method, you can change all the springs without rotating the motor at all.There is not enough room for the valves to drop down to far to cause a problem on any cylinder(before the negative bandwagoning starts I have done over 30 cam swaps) at WORST you might have to spin the motor to UP one valve if any. Just take your time and stick with it.

There's also the "rope trick", where you feed a bunch of
rope into the spark plug hole until the cylinder gets fairly
full, then turn the crank until bind. Better for the case
where you have a high dome and the valve can drop too
much to get the keeper on.
