My opinion here is that approximate TDC is good enough for installing a standard timing set straight up ( dot to dot ). Don't think on a BBC the "slop" at TDC ( where the rod sort of rides the slope at the top of the journal arc ) would be enough to cause the chain to skip a tooth. If it were, you'd probably see that in the dot alignment anyway, right?
