Personally, I dislike trusting witness marks if I didn't make them (or 
otherwise verify that they are accurate).  Everyone makes a mistake sometimes, 
and the factory was no exception.

So, I would first establish an accurate TDC using a piston stop or similar.  
Maybe your eyes are better than mine, but I can't reliably see a 1 degree error 
in the slot being "downwards".
