You probably dont need one have you tried 5th gear with the brakes on?

 

the engine is dangling on an engine crane with no gearbox

 

Bang goes that idea then i have heard of people locking them up using the starter ring.

 

lock the flywheel off on the engine case with a small spanner

 

Might be worth popping up what engine it is for, there is more then 1 tool available.

 

sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees! cheers
one thing tho is it a normal right hand thread or a lefty?

 

now there's a question, the pulley has for holes for the holding tool, i've only the engine and not sure of the year.
The engine wasn't the original out of the car either, i bought it because it had documentation about the rebuild 16k miles ago so the internals are strong.
On the engine block it says SJ20 S20C 701 04 23323 AB-71 and over the bell housing there is what looks like a serial number.
do you know how to i.d. the engine?

cheers
