I took a better look at the dial indicator today and he was reading it off a pushrod. Looked to be pretty accurate I should think.

The positive stop method is to find "True TDC", the best way to find "True TDC". A dial indicator is ok, but the piston sits still for a few degrees before and after TDC.

Readings off a pushrod would have been while reading the camshaft.

Have you got some photos of the build, especially the camshaft timing setup?
