That might work, but I want to be sure of my timing marks.

Anyway, no one has one?

Timing marks can be obtained and likely be better than stock if you degree the engine to locate TDC.

Just to be 100% sure, how do you do that without taking the head off?

I mean, I can do it within a couple of degrees.

I saw a set of timing covers on the for sale forum a couple of weeks ago... might still be up for grabs

Piston stop. You screw it into the spark plug hole. ;)
