Everything else being equal...the engine will easily turn over if you lock one wheel with a bar or ?, put the tranny in gear and turn the other wheel...whatever direction you wish.

If you pull the sparkplugs it will turn even easier.

Alternatively, you can put a wrench on the alternator pulley nut and as long as the belt is reasonably tight (I press down on it while turining), you can turn the engine with it.

And I assume your going to play valve adjustment to see if you have a tight valve or a really loose valve from a bent pushrod. Since there are only 4 lobes on the camshaft...it stands to reason if one cylinder's valve is in the open position, it's opposite is on the heel of the cam...no timing marks, rotor position, etc to worry about..Open one, adjust it's opposite.

But, with that all said....it's your and your buddy's time.......
