 HI-  I would say that there should be some type of a mark or at least a line or dot.  and is there no plate ot any  arm on the block. if you are doing the valves cold and by the  timieng mark  can you pop the no# 1 cyld to get it on to the no # 1 plug on the cap this way you will know you are now on TDC.
