Two ways of doing this:
Remove the four sparkplugs,remove the CD sized cover on the right side of the engine(the old point cover) and take a 17MM wrench rotate the engine to the right. If resistance is felt, then further investigation is needed.

The other way is to remove the left side engine case(the alternator side) and turn the engine over using the bolt holding the alternator rotor(again with the plugs out). This might require a new gasket for that side as the old one may tear/leak later.
