How close did you come to hitting TDC at the crank and cam with the new chain?

In my SDL, I can't do better than 4 crank degrees either way with a new head and new chain. I don't know if the marker is properly aligned since I don't have a dial gauge. I tried 4-BTDC and now and 4-ATDC. Can't tell the difference.

Thanks,
