I do not, I will check whether I can cobble something together because this is a brilliant idea! Thanks!

I did not check for valve lash as I do not have feeler gauges (yet), I ordered some, they will take a while to get here... I live in the sticks so any part/tools take forever to get to me... I will see if the father in law has some to bring with tomorrow.
When you say a little bit of oil, how much are we talking? I would prefer to avoid bending the rod :P I am guessing like ~2 tablespoons would be good? For the intake, I do not have a spare TB gasket, would me removing the CCV hose be enough?
Thank you! And happy holidays all!
