I'd assume you could mark it and leave it as is, provided the crankshaft/camshaft doesn't move at all. If it were me, I'd just put it to TDC so that if it DOES move, it's no big deal

If you're not working on anything else just marking it is fine.... Just make sure the mark is CLEAR and won't rub off!
