im a noob on here but i recently rebuilt my d16a8 engine and i used a socket under the flywheel inside the engine beside the cylinder slowly turned the crank till the socket engaged the crank and locked up then undone it with a 1/2 inch breaker bar with a pipe on it
it was very tight and it worked a treat
hope that helps

well, considering how he said that there was no flywheel on the engine about 5 times, no, i dont think its going to help one bit.

it doesnt need to have a flywheel on the engine due to the socket being inside the engine between the crankshaft and the engine block

nope no damage to crank shaft at all

oh damn i forgot to post the outcome of this shiz...
in the end i used the gun and good ol muscle power.
i used 2 flywheel bolts threaded opposite to one another, then used used a spanner to lock into place resting on one of the arms of the engine stand.
