U can do it by putting ur dipstick in cylinder #1 spark plug holeand turn the engine over until u see it at the top and start to go down. Then just go back a little until ur sure it's at the top. Lol that's the easiest way that I know of. Just be careful. Or wait for someone who has more experience to answer.

Checkmarks

You can use a piston stop. A spark plug with a piece of chevy pushrod installed into the insulator and welded not obstructing the threads any. Set up a pointer in relationship so that you can scribe a line on the crankshaft pully. Rotate the crankshaft this way (clockwise) put a mark on the crankshaft pully. Then rotate the crankshaft that way (counter-clockwise) and put a mark on the pully. Exactly in between those two just made scribes and you have something you can use.
