how can I find Top dead cener of number 1 while it is on the compression stroke, the distributor was put in wrong, and the heads were replaced and valves need to be readjusted. I was told to place my finger in the plug hole on number 1 and turn the engine until air blows out of the spark plug hole, and that would be the compression stroke, however with the valves not yet adjusted, it seems to blow air on both the exhaust and compression stroke, as the distributor is disturbed I can not look to see when it is pointing at number 1
I was told another way is to watch the valves and when it starts pushing on the intake valve, rotate till on top dead center just after that, however I do not know which one is the intake valve
any help would be greatly appreciated
