Best Answer

You have to remove the spark plug and turn the engine over with your finger stuck in the empty spark plug hole. When it trys to blow your finger out it is coming up to the compression stroke and when it goes to the exhaust stroke the exhause valve should be open so there will be no pressure on your finger. The intake stroke may cause a little suction on your finger. You might take a flashlight to look into the cylinder to see if the the piston is visible at top-dead-center.
