I know in a gas engine you can take the spark plug out and feel the pressure as you turn the engine over and also use the distributor to locate # 1 cylinder. But diesel??? If you set the crank damper to "0" degrees, the piston will be all the way up! The location of the cam sprocket and cam tower marks will define which half of the cycle you are in. See the "Cam timing marks on 606" thread and look at the attached TSB on checking chain stretch of OM60x engines.

Re: [MBZ] TDC #1 cylinder
Rotate the crank to OT, then pull the oil cap and make sure both #1 cam lobes are pointing up, i.e. not depressing their respective lifter buckets. If the lobes aren't up, then rotate the crank another time around, rinse and repeat.
