Compression Stroke after verifying TDC

AJ/FormS said
back the crank up CCW ~20*, remove the #1 spark plug.
If you are by yourself;
and you have a bump starter;
then stick your finger over the hole and bump the starter.
If you are on compression stroke, it will blow your finger off.

Thanks! I don't have a bump starter, bit I can get a helper. So go ccw until the 20* on the balancer lines up with "0" on the timing cover?
