when we rebuilt my engine I painted the timing mark with florescent paint to I could see where TDC was and 2 degrees BTC. It was impossible to see when everything was put together, but I also think the 2 degree thing is just a suggestion and most old school mechanics time it by ear.
Tim is right though, just because it is at TDC does not mean it is on the compression stroke.
