The easy and accurate way of finding TDC is thread a bolt into the plug hole. Turn the engine (donīt use the starter for this !!!) until the piston contacts the bolt. Mark the damper. Then turn the engine the other way arround until the piston hits again. mark the damper again.

The precise TDC is halfway in between the marks.
