ot a direct answer, but gear mark alignment is what you need to get right.

Watch your #1 intake pushrod. When that rod starts to move upward, The piston is beginning to travel downward on the Intake Stroke. Rotate the crank 1/2 turn and
the piston will be at Bottom Dead Center, beginning to rise on the Compression Stroke. A half turn more will get you Top Dead Center, at the beginning of the Power
or Combustion Stroke.

Depending on your camshaft profile and timing, these cycles can begin a few degrees before or after the pistons reach TDC or BDC, but this will get you in the
ballpark.
