I know you don't have a piston stop but using one doesn't require feeler gauge etc. You only need a pointer ( and an easily printed 360 degree marked disc. Make sure you are on compression stroke, turn crank until the piston hits the stop then rotate back. Half way between the two angles is tdc. Spot on no messing with trying to find the rocker point.
Google finding tdc with piston stop.
