??? ??? ON small engines I have used a piece of rope through the
plug hole so the piston will be stopped & then loosed the
crank bolt . Up until recently the availability of impact guns on
some projects was not a option .

In my 55+ years as a mechanic I have never heard of
that. I always used an impact gun and never had one that
wouldn't come.

Well, probably, but I wasn't fixing a cylinder head. I was making a
spark plug plug tool. You take out the spark plug, insert the tool, and
it prevents the piston from passing TDC so you can remove the crank
shaft nut. Not something most people would be aware of.
