Another quick way, Take out number one plug, turn motor over by hand, until you feel compression, insert a long thin screwdriver down plug hole, and youl feel the piston come up. As it nears the top use 2 fingers to hold the screwdriver against the head with other hand make a pencil mark on the crank pulley.keep turning it over as the screwdriver comes up and back down, as your fingers bottom out on the head again, make another mark. between the two marks should be tdc. As you rock the engine, youll get a feel for it. That should be pretty close. "
