agreed the ghetto way is to use a screw driver stuck through the spark plug holeand watch it rise and begin to fall then you know when your there

ditton on using a 19mm socket if you have a B-series engine, and a 17mm socket if you have a D-series engine.

There's a white marker point on the crank pully which is the TDC mark, you're suppose to match-align that white marker with a marker on your timing belt cover (as seen here) to put the motor at TDC:

96 Prelude Si 2.3, same picture in Haynes, but how do you know you're at TDC on the right stroke? arrow on crank will line up twice, once on intake, once on exhaust, how do you make sure you're not 180* off? Popped my DOHC belt, trying to align crank, cams are easy to align, want to make sure I'm not 180* off after all this work. Thanks Jon

Remove the #1 cylinder spar plug so you can verify it's at TDC.
Remember the cams rotate at half the speed of the crank so 2 revolutions on the crank for the cams to make one, when the white mark on the crank pulley lines up and the TDC marks on the cams also lines up you're there
