Table, put your hand over the #1 cylinder, or a light tissue over the cylinder when you are cranking it over. Before you do this it will be easier if you remove all of the plugs.

The top of the compression stroke will move the tissue or you will feel the air with your hand. At this point, both the intake and exhaust valve will be closed.

Make sure the piston is at the very top of the cylinder. At this point, the timing pin will drop into the hole as you are cranking it over.
