Pull the plugs, turn engine by hand until #1 is all the way up. When #1 is up, timing mark should show TDC. Use a scew driver to feel piston rise to top as you turn the engine.
I get that but not convinced it isvthe same flywheel as used before?? Thats why I want to confirm I am not 180° out. Valves on one closed, exhaust open on #6 at TDC correct?
When #1 is up, it could be on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke. TDC firing should be on the compression stroke. #6 would be on the exhaust stroke, so the exhaust valve would be open. Intake valve may also be open, depending on overlap in the cam.
John, I get he confusion here. I am faced with a similar situation when I set my valves. I have learned that the best way to tell is to watch the rocker arms. Pull the valve covers(only 4 bolts on yours) and watch the valve train. You will see what is open or what is closed.
