Last time I did this, I used a dial indicator to find TDC, installed a degree indicator, and then eyeballed the location for a paint dot against the 0° marker. I think the next time I do it, I'll switch to a pointer. I want to try to rig up something like iron sights, with two points of fixed reference.
"A spectrum of escalating precision" I love that! This is all good advice.
