I don't knowhow accurate you want to be but to find TDC the easy way is to pull the plugs, stick something into no. 1 that will not hurt the threads in the plug hole, will contact the piston as it is slowly brought up by you turning the engine over slowly. You turn in one direction until you bump the stop. Mark the flywheel or crank pully. Now turn the other way until you again bump the stop. Mark the flywheel or crank pully again. Half way between the two marks is TDC. You must not let the stop you put into the cylinder move while you are doing this procedure. The hot rodders and other engine builders use this method to degree in camshafts. Only they bolt a stop over the piston before the head is on and use a degree wheel temporarly mounted on the crank.
