Number 1 cylinder is on passenger side front of engine. Remove all the spark plugs and place you thumb over the #1 plug hole. Turn the engine until you feel the piston come up on the compression stoke. It will push at your thumb on the compression stroke. You can then insert a long screwdriver in the hole and touch the top of the piston. Turn the engine over by hand very, very, slowly until the piston is at TDC. Caution: Do not do this with the starter, turn it over by hand.
