You cannot lock the cam alone - so what I'd suggest is to place the entire engine at MDC (Middle Dead) (i.e. spin the crank 90*) and then remove the pulley - but you can't lock at MDC - once you've then done the work you'll then need to do precisely the reverse - what I'd suggest is that you note which way you turned the engine... So once you're done, time the cam back up, spin the engine 90* backwards, then put the pins in.

Catch my drift?
