cover for valve train on a flat head is on the side of block, likely 2 panels if anything like Ford 4 cylinder. Fiber optic probe or a bent wire to get to top of cylinder/piston to feel is maybe best- thumb over sparkplug hole close second best. Spark plug over valve area instead of piston so can't see means feel or look at valves. Intake opens on a down stroke means the following up stroke will be compression- valve seated, do a 1/2 turn of crankshaft front pulley- this time for the thumb on sparkplug hole and try to find a notch or scratch on pulley with a mark or pointer or scratch on block. some blocks had triangle sheet metal pointer, many lost then 5 to 10 years later and a 1928 engine likely lost time of Pearl Harbor, been timed by ear since then. All plugs pulled would mean able to see all the valves 1 through 4 cylinder. RN
