You can't find TDC... (Top dead centre).
The |T mark will indicate top dead centre AND bottom dead centre.
So, if by rotating the Alternator 180 there is no free play, rotate another 180 and try again.
The sure way to know if you have TDC is to remove the spark plug and slide a long, thin probe (screw driver will do). As you turn the engine the piston will go up and down. As will your probe.
When the piston is at it HIGHTEST point in the barrel and the mark |T is showing, you will be at top dead centre.
