49) Install the lock plate with the tang into the keyway slot, and then screw on the primary pinion nut, with the flat side facing in. Insert a connecting rod retaining plate under the small end of the connecting rod of the right-hand cylinder and then....................... This is on page 50 of the Glenn's manual. Just wondering what guys use for locking the crankshaft when torquing the Primary Pinion Gear. Thanks, Ed |

This is probably not for "real" mechanics...but for hacks like me - I've put copper plumbing pipe through the rod small end and let that rest on a hardwood block on the gasket surface of the engine case. |

Lump of lead or a rag placed between clutch and pinion gears |

A penny, new one, the zinc type, or a folded paper towel. A rag will come apart and is hard to dig out of the teeth. The rod option is good also. Don't for get blue loctite. |

I use an old Yamaha transmission gear that has a few teeth broken off it, inserted into the primary and clutch gears to lock the crank to tighten and torque the primary gear retaining nut. It has worked for decades. I don't like putting a static load like that on a connecting rod, just my preference. |

I use a second pinion gear to lock it. Attachment: WP_20170421_19_12_49_Pro.jpg

Thanks for the tips. I like the second pinion gear idea. |
