How to do IMS bearing job without locking crankshaft?

To Gilles point, you can lock the crank on the flywheel side, just make sure it’s TDC. You need to lock the cam as well, don’t trust locking the ims shaft. Make sure you have replacement cam seals, and poke a hole in the center of old seal to pull it out. There is a hole in the metal support there. (My first time was frustrating pulling the seal because I didn’t know that and was prying from the edge)
Be gentle, replace RMS and freeze bearing plus gently heat the block with propane, not oxy/acetylene when putting in new. They slide right in.
