I Just changed the head on a 1993 accord 2.2 (auto trans) because the timing belt broke and bent the intake valves on cylinder 1. I got everything put together again as per AllData specs and everything turns fine, compression is about 180 on every cylinder, but it won't start. When looking through the timing hole on the block there is an (I assume) white TDC mark and just slightly before that there are a set of 3 marks one of them is red. But even further down there is a tab that has a big white mark on it as well. When the crankshaft is aligned with the big what mark all by itself, the dimple on the timing belt pulley is about 20-25 degrees clockwise of where the hash mark on the engine block is. I can't seem to find what that mark is for. It's more boldly marked than the other marks on the drive plate. is this actually the TDC mark? I've never replaced a belt on an accord so I don't know if this is on all of them.
Any insight to what this mark is would be great.
Thanks

Make sure the ECU ground wire at the thermostat housing is attached. That big white mark through me for a loop 1 time. H22s have them too. TDC is very close to the 3 marks. Disregard the big white mark.

It was that pesky little ground wire on the thermostat cover...thanks.
