Brent, I used a dial indicator (MSC part# PW7644009 about $25.00) to set pistons at absolute TDC, used and extension and slid it into spark plug holes, then marked the harmonic balancer. I did this on each cylinder and then adjust lash, I've never used your technique?. Checked lash every 2000 miles and still good.
After setting first four cylinders, marks will line up on remaining four. Hope this helps.
