How would you get the piston at top dead center when setting the timing 2001 Dodge Intrepid 2.7L engine?

Remove all spark plugs and rotate the engine until you feel the compression on #1 cylinder. Use your thumb or a compression gage to judge when you are on the compression stroke. Once you feel compression place a long screwdriver or even better a small wooden dowel about 10" long, in the spark plug hole and very slowly rotate the engine BY HAND until the screwdriver reaches the top. That is TDC on the compression stroke. Warning: Do not use the starter to accomplish this.
When the timing marks on the chain are lined up the number one piston will not be at top dead center.
