Post Timing Key Install
Looking to install an advanced timing key, when re-torquing the flywheel nut, what is the best way form stopping the shaft from spinning.

I had put a piece of wood between the prop and cavitation plate last time two problems, sheered the key so I must not have it it torqued all the way and i bent my cavitation plate. Next project will be trying to straighten that out.

I'm about to get into this with the engine off the frame. I could use some advice on this as well...

So some debate on the impact gun, but when torquing the nut how do you best stop the output shaft from just spinning?

Fly wheel tool. It grabs the teeth to hold it. Its an automotive tool.
