Not actually having to do with them but using them as a tool of sorts...

So last August I installed the 4K GSK kit in my truck but not the springs seeing as how my truck wouldn't fuel hard enough to push above 3000rpm. Well with the bigger turbo, DVs, and timing I'm sure I won't have a problem getting up there now.

Here is the problem. Yesterday I took out the rocker arm assemblies to get the stands machined for the studs. Has anyone used the pushrods themselves as the tool to find TDC? I assumed that it will be whichever one is lowest then barely moves up on the exahust side is the one I want to watch for. Or, should I wait till Monday when I can get into the machine shop and get the stands done and use the rocker arm method??
 
You could use them, but I would mark them with a paint pen and turn the engine over by hand in order to determine TDC for each pushrod.
