You want to install the cam with number one piston at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Since it's a four stroke the piston fires every other time the piston reaches TDC. Don't bother taking the valley pan off again just a waste of time. Stick your finger in the #1 spark plug hole and as it starts getting close to TDC you will feel the compression if you don't go around again it's impossible to not feel the compression if your on the compression stroke.
