Believe it or not I still use the ford rubber umbrella seals ..just did my 99 before the wreck...it was smoking just on start up ,and when it has been sitting for a while at first...I always use the air compressor and spring tool....
If you are going to do this, buy the valve keepers from Napa , they are really (cheap), and when the magnet decides that it needs to drop the keeper in the grass somewhere you will have a bunch of spares, they are hard to find on a Saturday evening

if you don't have air or the air fitting or don't trust the air, you can also use the rope trick. disconnect battery first !!! with spark plugs out and piston rotated down, feed a soft rope about 1/4 inch diameter into the cylinder. rotate crank to move piston up until it compresses the rope and stops. jiggle it up and down several times to seat the rope. this eliminates the risk of air leak, air loss, etc. you'll still need the compressing tool and some extra keepers are not a bad idea
