Back in the day there was a tool that served as a way to grab onto the head. It was a bolt that screwed into a spark plug hole and had a loop on the top to grab with your hand or fasten a cable or chain.

Another tool we used was a piece of bent strap steel that had a bolt through it. The bolt screwed into a spark plug hole and the bent strap served as a handle. It worked very well.

Your suggestion is a good one, but you probably only need two of the bolts, in front and rear spark plug holes.
