Thank you Klaus,

I have the timing lined up with notches at top and crank at bottom. I was hoping to tie off the pulleys onto a flat board, but there is a dome shape cover with a torx opening over the exhaust pulley.
I guess my car is VVT because this is somehow linked to the variable timing? I am looking for a way to find if car is variable timing or not.
I wonder too if there is a way to do the job without buying the 100 dollar tool. Does a head gasket change require the pulleys to be taken off? I could probably rig something that just keeps the shafts 'plugged in' to the pulleys. If it just stops them flapping around that is fine, if I needn't have to put force on breaking the pulleys ...
Thank you for the advice.
-Andy
