Could be TDC on the exhaust strode. Remember that the crank rotates twice
for one complete cycle. Do you have the valve cover off? If not, I'd take it
off and (if this is a 2000) look for both number one cam lobes to be pointed
up, sort of in a "V" or rabbit ears.
If it's a 1600 you should still be able to see if both valves are closed. If
the number four lobes are as described, then you need to rotate the crank
another 360 degrees which should put you at TDC for number one.
