Oops, I forgot to mention that the engine is turned over by hand with this method. You're right, using the starter could result in something unpleasant! It's also tough to make the crank turn backward, too... ;^)
Basically the method involves reversing the crank rotation after the stop has been contacted the first time. Because symmetry involved the timing mark will be at it's "mirror image" position when the stop's contacted the second time. After that it's just a matter of splitting the difference between the 2 timing mark positions. This is one of those questions that's a lot easier to answer with visual examples!
