The way i do it is to bring it up on #1 TDC and set it the bring #3 up on tdc and set it then to #4 and set it and and then #2 i leave the spark puls out and use a small flash lite to look in and see when it is on TDC ya have to sorta feel for TDC on each and i always go back over a couple times just to make sure

Well , when ya start with the pointer on TDC it is either TDC on #1 or $ and see what cylinder has both valve loose and that is the one that is at TDC so if 4 is up and valves are loose then ya need to make a complet turn to come back to #1 then fallow the firing order and look in the spark plug hole and watch you can see when it gets to the top and go a bit past and watch it go down and back up you can feel it when it is real close to TDC on the 6 cylindres it is easier.

There's several ways to adjust the valves, but the easiest way to get the engine running is to bring No1 piston up on the compression stroke to
TDC and adjust these valve counting from the front of the engine. Set these valves to .020"
cold 1,2,3 & 5. Then bring No4 piston up to TDC
on the compression stroke and adjust 4,6,7 and 8.
They can be rechecked after the engine is running and the engine is heated up. Hal
