The "rope trick" is really for jamming the engine (crank) so you can loosen or tighten the front pulley bolt to spec. It's not really intended for securing the cam or i-shafts. Anyway, you would probably be doing this with the t-belt off, so the cam and i-shaft sprockets would be "disconnected" from the crank.

Look here and search on "rope trick."
