Top dead center means the piston is at the top of the stroke not half way up the bore

Thanks guys. I have the head off cause it snapped the cambelt due to a faullty tensioner and after I had a look at the pistons individually I turned it back on the mark on the block side of the crank pulley. That's when I noticed the pistons at equal height
