now what do I do

As in post #8..... There is a misconception that the standard 'dot-to-dot' occurs at #1 at TDC on the compression stroke. It will be at TDC on the compression stroke of cylinder #1 if both dots are at 12 o'clock (like you found). If it is 'dot-to-dot', then #1 is at TDC on the exhaust stroke and #6 is at TDC on the compression stroke. #1 and #6 work exactly 2 strokes a part from each other in the 4 stroke cycle.
