No. Top dead center on the #1 piston is usually used for timing purposes. The crank shaft and the cam shaft are aligned using the timing chain. Proper timing is achieved manually (by turning the distributor) or by the cars computer. If you have an engine that has a distributor remove the cap and mark the rotor buttons position. Also mark the position of the distributor in reference to a point on the engine itself. It can now be removed and replaced in it's original position - but a timing light is always a good idea for setting the timing. Other than removing the distributor itself other components can be disconnected and the intake can be removed and the gasket changed. Replace everything in the reverse order you took them apart. Good luck with your project.

How do you fix a water leak under the intake manifold on a Chevy Tracker V6 2001?
The intake manifold gasket is a common problem with the 90 degree GM engines. Replacing it requires you to bring the #1 cylinder to top dead center, then you have to very carefully scrape away the gasket material, being sure not to get any into the intake manifold itself. And you're going to have to look up the torque specs for reassembly. But, the short answer is that you're going to have to replace the gasket. Numerous resources are available online which go into detail on how to do this, or you can get a Chilton or Haynes service manual for that vehicle.

When the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke also known as the bottom dead center the intake valve closes and the?
When the piston reaches the bottom dead center (BDC), the intake valve closes, sealing the combustion chamber. This marks the end of the intake stroke and prepares the engine for the compression stroke. As the piston moves back up to the top dead center (TDC), the air-fuel mixture that was drawn in is compressed, leading to a more efficient combustion process in the subsequent ignition phase. This sequence is crucial for the engine's overall performance and efficiency.

How do you position the cam and crank sprockets on a 1997 Mazda miata?
Rotate the crank pulley at the bottom of the engine until the dimple is at top dead center. Use a second socket set to rotate the intake and exhaust cam sprockets so that the "I" (intake) is at the top dead center on the intake cam, and "E" (Exhaust) is at the top dead center of the exhaust cam. Place the timing belt on the engine. You may need a tool or helper to keep the crank pulley in place while you apply the timing belt. Test your placement by rotating the crank pulley two full rotations. Verify that the intake and exhaust cams return to the original positions - I and E at the top of the cam gears.
