Default Crank and cam locking

I'm in the process of taking the heads off my sti because of head gasket failure. The problem is i dont have anything to lock the camshafts or crankshaft in place . The engine is in situe so limited space so i'm hoping you guys have some much needed advice

You don't need to, Just set them right when you put the cambelt back on

Yes, just get the timing marks right before you take it off.

Pics are clicky
