Timing help needed ASAP!!!!!
ok...in the manual it says that the pointer on the timing belt cover and the 4 colored notches on the pulley should line up when the timing is correct.... the problem i am having is finding these notches on the pulley...is there anyway to tell where these are??? or any other ways of timing the vehicle which is a 91 Civic btw??? thanks!!!

Pull out the #1 spark plug and use something long
like a screwdriver to "feel" the top of the piston...
Rotate the crank until the screwdriver rises to it's highest point
and the mark should be lined up..
