I also believe you need to check the marks on the pulley. One way to really be accurate is to make a piston stop out of a spark plug. Gut a used plug for the engine, leaving only the shell. Find a piece of steel rod that fits in the shell and braze it in place sticking out an inch or so. Round the end of the rod into a dome (not accurate or polished, just not sharp edged). Screw it into #1 plug hole (all other plugs out)(with the piston going up, stroke does not matter) Using a hand crank, !!!not the starter!!! roll the engine till the piston touches the rod and stop. Mark the pulley at the pointer. Turn the engine backward (using the fan belt) till the piston touches the rod softly from the other direction. Mark the pulley there. Now use a tape measure to divide the two marks giving a very real TDC. Jim
