Agreed, thumb over hole a better safer choice.

Depending on size of finger sticking one in the hole could be trouble.

You can get very close by sticking your finger in the #1 spark plug hole
(not to far).

Make that your THUMB and just press it against the spark plug hole to create
an tight seal.

You can get very close by sticking your finger in the #1 spark plug hole
(not to far). Make an air tight seal but not a lot of pressure.

Then rotate the engine slowly in the direction it would normally run via
large socket wrench slowly. Easier if you have a friend.

When the pressure makes your finger pop out you are close enough to get
started with the process mentioned before.

Okay, now how do I place the number one cylinder at TDC. Just look in
through the spark plug hole?
