That $45 chrome MTC crank holder tool was about the best money I've spent on a special tool in ages, AND it fit the non-OE balancer fine. I can see it being annoying to use, slightly, with the engine in the car, but with it on an engine stand I put the new balancer on, torqued it to spec, then did the 60 degrees, with an angle gauge no less(!), in under 1 minute. Used the rope on other motors, works fine, but given a choice I don't put stuff in my cylinders.
Last time I did this, I used a notched piece of box steel set in the starter hole engaging the ring gear, that too works like a charm and I like it better for torquing the flywheel bolts since it holds closer to where the torque is being applied. More than one way to skin a Swedish cat.
