This would work too, except loose motion in your connecting rod bearings might make the actual TDC a little "dicey."
I could see as much as 10 degrees of fudge here depending.
You time using this method with "lost motion" always in the direction of motor rotation (i.e. "taken up.") But pistons are (can be) actually "thrown" ahead at speed thus reversing this lost motion.
Worth a try though - cheap money.
