Default TDC and valve lash

Need a little help. Had some head work done and have to relash my valves. Can any one tell me the best way to find top dead center, I was told the timing pin at front cover could be off as much as 3 deg. Does the timing pin just slide in and out feely?? Because mine is some what frozen it feels, but it seems to be plastic What is the lash pattern and clearance on exhaust and intake side. Any help would be great. Thanks todd

I believe this should answer most of your questions:
B Series Valve Adjustment
