Getting ready to put a new chain on my 318. Any recommendations for holding the cam while torquing the bolt down, or just let the chain hold it and hold the flywheel?

Unfortunately the new gear doesn't have the small holes for the holding tool to go in so I'll probably have to rig somethingUsually the sprockets have holes in them..... and the front of the block does too; which you can figure out how to use as anchors.
But 35pounds won't hurt a double-roller chain if you use the crank.
If you use a factory type nylon coated sprocket,well IDK, I've never done that.
Thanks for all the input everyone!
With 35 ft-lbs, I doubt it would move much.....I'm a horrible person, and have never torqued that bolt on my motors. I just get it tight by hand (NOT saying that is the right thing to do...its just is what I have done).
