Hi. Dear Honda Owner:

I want to change my 2002 LX civic timing belt. Before I start I want to get everything clear. My question is: suppose that I get the timing belt off and I totally disturbed the timing relation between crankshaft and camshaft, how do I set up the TDC for number 1 piston on the compression stroke.

I had read the timing belt change from this url and still have the above question

I also have Haynes Repair Manual and I read it as well

I am asking this question because if the timing is messed up, it might get the valve and piston damaged and it will cost thousands.

Thanks for the help.

If you take a couple hundred dollars and the car to a mechanic they'll tell you the answer to that question and do it for you
