According to the FSM, if you plan on adjusting your injection timing, it says to "Set crankshaft in direction of rotation to 24 deg. + 1 deg. before TDC in compression stroke of first cylinder."

Now, the crankshaft rotates twice for every camshaft rotation. So, if I rotate the crankshaft to 24deg. BTDC, how do I know if I'm on the compression stroke, or whether I still have one more rotation to go?
