Naw, he's trying to get the crank to stop rotating. So, old school way:
1. Remove (1) sparkplug doesn't matter which one lets yank #3.
2. Turn the crank until cylinder #3 is @ BDC.
3. Feed a length of rope through the sparkplug hole.
4. Rotate crank piston will move up compressing the rope on it's way, once the rope is compressed the piston stops, set your torque.
5. A quick snap of a rachet in the oppisite direction lets you remove the rope.

You owe me (1) six pack.

I saw your other post, if you ask nice you'll have alot better luck with responses.
