I'm always amazed when people ask this question and nobody provides a link to the tools that are available. Mancini Racing sells a damper holding tool which is inexpensive and easy to use. I also posted a new tool thread just the other day on this board for a crankshaft holding tool.

That tool looks like it would work well,however,I want to get my truck buttoned up,and am sorta impatient and would have to wait for that tool to arrive.I rarely do any kind of engine teardowns so I would probably use that tool once a year.Id probably end up misplacing it anyway.Ill keep the tool in mind,and maybe suggest it to others.
I did use the rope trick(removed the anchor line off my Jon Boat) and TA-DAH... Worked like a champ!! Tightened to 135 ft/lbs as suggested.
Thanks for the suggestions. Im that much smarter now and will share the rope trick with everyone I know,whether they already know the trick or not!!
Thanks again it worked like a charm!!

Whats the worse a strand of string can do to an engine if it were to come off the rope.It would probably burn up in the combustion chamber and get spit out the exhaust.
It is what the rope drags into the cylinder, I would be worried about.
How hard is to cut a piece of angle iron and drill two holes in it. You can get the metal for free, just go dumpster diving at any mattress supply store. They throw out all the old steel bed rails.
