I ended up using the rope method, it worked perfect.

The intake was off, so I had an easy visual reference to make sure the valves were closed

Thank you Robert and everyone else for your suggestions.


While the rope method works and it is highly unlikely you would have a problem crap does happen. A drag week friend of mine used the rope method on a big block ford and somehow managed to get the rope knotted up in the cylinder. He had all kinds of hell getting it out and was very close to the point of having to take the motor apart! Unlikely but it does happen lol.
