Valve timing issues

[nutsoverJD]

Where are your valves located when you put your finger over #1 cylinder (LH cylinder) when you roll engine over (By hand) and start to feel compression and then continue that piston to the top of that stroke, not going further than TDC. Now, this may seem like a rather stupid question and by no means an insult, you are aware that #1 cylinder is the one on the left when looking from the seat, Correct? When that cylinder is on its compression stroke, verified by pressure build on your finger(It may actually be hard to feel because of slow speed turning by hand), I like to take a piece of tie wire bent at a 90Deg angle and insert into cylinder, watch as wire moves out of cylinder until obviously piston is at top of its stroke. where are your valves now on that cylinder?
