THE TDC Mark....

 

If you got all the belts off and the crank pulley of, look at the bottom sprocket, it should have a mark on it. Line up that mark with the little triangular mark thats on the block. The top two timing gears also have marks, they should be at 3 and 9 oclock positions, basically parallel to the head. ------
If any of those are off, then you have to redo the timing belt.

 

x2. If the crank pulley is off though, there is a red mark on the crankpulley that corresponds with a line on the timing belt cover that points almost straight up but more outwards out of the engine bay towards the front of the car.

You can also put a flashlight or led light down through through the spark plug holes and turn the crank until the number 1 or 4 piston is at TDC and stays a little motionless
