"1) set piston #1 in the firing order at t.d.c., on compression, both intake and exhaust valves on that cylinder will be closed and on the heel of the cam.
set those both."

WRONG...On a stock cam you may be able to get away with this but neither lobe will be centered on the heel.
With a modified cam, this method definetly will NOT work.
