there are special tools for it you might get away with a half inch ectension to lock the crank up , use a rivet to lock the chain tensioner then something to lock the two camshafts up needs to be about 6mm thick

The main thing is the cam sensor locking tool thing.
For the price of the tools, Buy them and sell em on again, or keep them for future use.

I managed to buy my locking kit for that engine for £25 brand new the other week.
Still not got round to putting the new head on yet though.
