How many tie rod end turns is stock?
Put a new rack on my 95 dx civic sedan, it doesnt have alignment marks. How many turns should I do on the tie rod ends to get it close enough to align?

theres no way you can just count turns or even eyeball it.
you need to eyeball it straight, take a drive and get a feel which to turn and how much. enough to get you to the alignment shop.

you trying to ball park a tie rod change so it does not mess up the alignment ?
If so take a Measureing ruler in MM. Measure the center piece of the cap. Mark it. Now take the ruller and measure from a marked spot in the inner tie rod. Remove the old tie rod and put the new one on and do the same thing find the center of the tie rod and volla you should be good to go.
