or another way to do it is
take the plug outta the hole near the cam gear use like a plastic rod or something like that stick it down the hole till it hits the top of the piston turn the crank by hand till you can hear air push out the hole. when the tube comes up and stops and at the very moment it starts to go back down that is TDC

Unless your rotor is not pointing at #1, you are still not at tdc. You could be on the other side of the four stroke cycle. After finding "tdc" with the pistons, make sure the rotor is at #1, and then you can be sure that you are at tdc for real. good luck
