I check for TDC on the short block with a dial indicator right on the flat of the piston. Note when the dial stops rising and where it starts falling and TDC is center of those positions. I have a large degree wheel set up too. I also find TDC starting from both sides of the curve. When I have the dial on true TDC, I index the timing marker.
