Thanks again
Easy. Turn the engine over by hand until the No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on the compression stroke. You can either pull the valve cover to check that both valves are closed or remove the spark plug and check for compression with your finger. The rotor will be pointing to the No. 1 position on the cap.
