2.5" is a lot to be off. I'd worry that there is something wrong about how the 
fan & pulley are mounted. In this group of marks TDC should be the leftmost 
mark. The 4 marks are 0, 7.5, 10, 12.5 BTDC.

When you mounted the pulley did you notice whether there was a dowel pin 
in the end of it that fit in a matching hole in the face of the fan? That really 
has to be there in order for these parts to be assembled in the right 
alignment. There should also have been a Woodruf key on the end of the 
crankshaft so that the fan could only fit on one way.

Or you are just that far off in how well you were able to determine TDC via 
"feeling" the piston.
