    since the piston resides at tdc and bdc for several degrees of crank rotation, you can be off several degrees with that method

    and if you happen to be doing it on the overlap stroke, you will not only have a mess in your exhaust but on a flathead can creat a hydraulic lock in one of the other cylinders
