I'm going to try and get the springs back in place later today with the lever back where it should be. Instead of putting the cover back on and putting everything back together and starting the car to test, I'm thinking whether it's safe to do the following, with the valve cover off.

Somehow manually cranking the engine so the cam turns and I can see the lever in motion and check the valves are moving as expected. If I see the lever and spring pop out again then I can only assume there's something wrong with the valve not opening and closing as it should be, causing it to stick and the intermediate lever/rocker getting pushed out..

Just want to check it's safe for me to do this and I won't cause any issues in manually cranking the engine.. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
