#189402 D16Z6 timing points.

ok im about to change the water pump, timing belt and tensioner on my d16z6.

Now the car since ive had it has been good,

now i know before dismantling i have to put the engine at TDC.

now once it's in tdc, and i have things apart, down below. how would i be able to tell if the head and block are timed properly.?
any marks i should look for?..

#189411 once you have the crank pully off there a mark on the lower oil pump gear that will signify the bottom end being at tdc and of coarse the cam gear up top has the marks as well....
