    Get number 4 cylinder valves/lobes rocking and the number 1 cylinder will be a TDC. That will give you a ballpark. If you want it exact you will need a degree wheel and a dial indicator.

    It will be compression one number 1 cylinder at TDC.... So both lobes (exhaust and intake)will be on the flat side pushing on the valves

    HOT TIP

    i know for certain the intake cam has a little tic tac shaped indent in it. when it faces straight up "visible through oil cap hole" thats no1 TDC. i can only assume the exhaust cam has the same....

    The cam gears have a hole for the dowel on the cam. This is visible near the washer under the main bolt. This should be facing up on both cams when the crank is on 0.
