I usually put the engine in my bench vise with a rag between the jaws to keep from messing up the teeth on the flywheel. Don't over tighten, just enough to hold it in place. You could do the same with a vicegrip and use a rag between the jaws to keep from messing up the teeth. Do not over tighten! Just enough pressure to keep it from slipping.
