Just to clarify, you dont measure at TDC. (Every cam will clear at TDC.) It is the 12-15 degrees before and after TDC where the PTV contact happens. Buy the proper tools and measure PTV. It is only a few hours of less of work and well worth it. recently did mine at -15, -12, -10, -8, -6, -4, -2, +2, +4, +6, +8, +10, +12 and +15. Doing this I got a really good idea of my cam profile and where the tight spots are. (I had just enough clearance to be safe with my cam duration and milled heads.)

if pulling the heads i recommend just claying the piston...
