I've searched so please just dont point me in the path of the search button

while my heads were off I rotated my engine to see if the knock was in the lower end of my block, it wasnt so whatever.

Now I have the heads back on, and im getting to the point of installing the intake and such.

How do I find tdc the cheap way? I remember reading something on here about sticking your finger in the spark plug hole or something.

I dont have a timing light so im just going to have to rough this out and then adjust it as needed.

any ideas?
