Best Answer

Remove the spark plugs and slowly rotate the engine by hand until you feel the piston coming up on the compression stoke. You can place your thumb over the plug hole and you will feel the compression stoke. Once you feel it, place a long screwdriver in the plug hole and watch as it slowly rises. Once it gets to the very top, you are at TDC. You must go slow and do not get the screwdriver stuck. If you cannot use a screwdriver click the link.
