I used his method too. The wire was more than vigorous enough. I used to longest curtain rod and lashed it down so it wouldn't move. I found that the belt in the sprocket were not as susceptible to getting misaligned as I expected they would be.

This was tricky for me. I spent a lot of time turning the cam and watching the lifters and figuring out where the correct start position was. Obviously it's really important that the crank pulley not get turned and that the Pistons are on the exact position they were in when you pulled the head off. You'll get it if you're patient careful.
What do you mean adjusting the top and bottom separately? I don't understand. And I don't recognize that tool, which isn't surprising cuz I'm not extremely experienced.
Hang in there!
