Since I no longer have the head on the engine (16v conversion) I can't figure out a good way to stop the crank from turning while I loosen off the crank bolts so I can install my new 16v timing belt, any tips from the pros:D

Air tools or stick a screwdriver in a hole in the flywheel.

Got no air tools and the engine is still in the car, and it's a 5spd car so no real holes to jam it into ;)

I know people that swear by these things. I'm definitely tempted to go out and buy one.

Engine & trans in the car? Put it in gear with the tires on the ground and chocked up...

Engine only in the car? Buy a Flywheel turning tool and hold it by the flywheel that way...

I got one and it works pretty well... not sure if I'd swear on it tho. It is way better than the Craftsman 1/2" gun that came with my 30 gallon compressor tho. :thumb:

it took some extra work all i had to do was grab onto the pulley with my hand, and 3rd gear worked and none of the other ones worked
