You can do it with the cover off if you want, or if it's already off anyways. Otherwise just go to each plug hole and rotate the engine through and watch for the piston to come up to tdc (following the firing order sequence). If there is a cyl you can't see you can use something like a wooden dowel in the hole and watch that to come up as high as you think it will go. You can make a gauge mark on it on #1 when you do that if you are afraid of going past tdc.
