I have used a method for 25+ years that will work on everything from high performance racing engines to antique tractors.

Find the 2 valves for a cylinder, turn the engine over and watch the intake valve. When the intake begins to close, set the exhaust, or ICE. Keep turning the engine watching the exhaust valve and when the exhaust begins to open, set the intake, or EOI.

This method places each lifter at the base circle of the cam and is extremely accurate. It does the same thing as using a degree wheel and dial indicator, but it is all visual and simple. Wtih planning and pracitce you can go down the firing order and get all valves in 2 revolutions of the crank. Also, this method was devised with a dial indicator and degree wheel.

Remember:
I-intake
C-closing
E-exhaust (set exhaust)

E-exhaust
O-opening
I-intake (set intake)
