Pulled my motor many weeks ago and started to partially tear it down. Went to install my hks cams last weekend, but realized that I wasnt sure if my 1st cylinder was top dead center because I forgot to line up my crank pulley and timing cover before I pulled them off. My oem cam gears are lined up at 12 o'clock but Im not sure about the crank. Is there anyway other way to know if they're lined up? Cheers
 
Remove one of the spark plugs, put a screw driver in cylinder 1 and rotate 'til the screw driver is at its highest point ;)
