So for folks tha are not into mechanics/ or their own servicing, this trick of the trade, we could be potentially ripped off. But then how many mechanics would potentialy use that method?

Donnow...  ;D

But garages would apply air pressure into the spark plug hole, this keeps the valves back. This trick is really aimed at DIY mechanics that don't have the kit to pressurise the combustion chamber.

My only concern is that if you do try this method then you should use fibre-free cord, something that won't leave tiny fibres in the combustion chamber...

I'm sure the 'bang' bit of Otto's cycle will get rid of any such bits if they got in.  :y

This was the method we used on my Dad's Granny when he was left with a nice row of valve stem seals for half the V after he'd done both head gaskets! That's what comes of rushing the job  ;)
