[Healeys] Can I Lock Up The Engine? (BJ8).

[Graham and Lorraine Wilkie]

Hi Listers,

The large cranknut in front of the damper and pulley on my 29K series 
engine is a bit loose and requires tightening. (The lock tab on the 
washer beneath the cranknut hadn't been properly bent over the flat on 
the cranknut). With the radiator and fan removed I can get onto the 
cranknut with a 1-11/16" open ender, but the trouble is that the engine 
turns when I try to nip it up, even with the car in gear.

Would somebody please tell me if there is any way I can safely lock up 
the engine, to enable me to properly tighten the cranknut?

Thank you.

Graham Wilkie.
