there is no doom of having some engine brite in the valve chamber.. All that will happen is it will burn off once the valve is open. not nearly enough to create hydralock. Fun watching someone else do this for a change...been there done it too often. :-) I know time factor may be at play here but since you are doing the "dirty" on the block. you may want to remove the pan gasket as well?

Frost plug!!! Great idea especially out there!
