depending on your engine, most d-series have 2 marks on the crank pulley one white and one red. the white mark is crank tdc, the red mark is the one you want to use to time if you do not have an ajustable timing gun.
obviously, you need to have the correct crank pully for your engine if you are going to do it this way..
if you do have an adjustable timing gun, use the white mark and adjust you gun for the # specified for you engine (check your manual, not the same for all hondas)
use the pointers on the lower timing belt cover to line up on the mark.
and don't forge about the service jumper like i just did.
