Make sure you take your spark plugs out before you try to turn the enigine over.

Why?

I guess you are referring to building compression before starting the engine with new cams, but you can usually just do that by pulling the ignition coil and cranking it....

Well I've heard its a little easier to turn the crank with the plugs out. The engine is trying to compress air when you turn the crank...

put the car in nuetral/e-brake down, then rock the car front to back and watch as the pulley moves to TDC.
