i just replaced a head gasket on my d16z6 and when i put it back together it ran a little but fell on it's face so my buddy came over and said it was off a tooth which it was so we toke every thing back off and took the timing belt off and moved it a tooth but now it won't start at all so

my question is can someone tell how to set the time so i can make sure that i did it right

 

set top cam gear to up (the maarks on side should be flat), and bottom crank pulley lined up to the mark on the block to the single line on the crank pulley

 

my crank pulley has no marks on it
i looked everywhere on that damn thing

 

your crank pulley has marks, look for the white mark, it's there

 

ok so i blasted that bastard with brake parts cleaner and i found some marks
there is a group of two and a group of three
which one do i want to line up with which part

Pull the #1 sparkplug and stick a pencil in the hole. Then remove the distributor cap and align rotor to #1 sparkplug wire by turning the crank clock-wise when looking at the pulley.

Then work the crank back and forth til you see the pencil is up the farthest up signaling the the #1 piston is at the top.

Then take a rag and wipe off the pulley.

 

ok lets say there is no mark
is there any other way to tell for should that the crank is at tdc

 

where is this mark on the block
