Default 89 civic ex, Timming cover mark for TDC?

just wondering where to locate the timming cover mark for TDC on the timming cover. also is their any way to set the crank to TDC without having a timming cover? one last question, dose anyone know how man Foot pounds of torque the fucking pully is set too. I have a 4 foot long steel pole over a 1/2 inch ratchet for leverage and I still cant get the bitch off no matter how hard I pull(i do have the pulley locked in place)

there is a line on the lower timing cover pointing at the crank. U can take the sparkplug out of cylinder #1 and put a long 3/8 extention in the whole then turn the crank counter clockwise until that extension is at its highest point and thats TDC, if u pass it for any reason just keep rotating until u get there again, cause u dont want to spin your motor clockwise cause then u may slip a tooth on the timingbelt... Hope this helps G/L

thanks, I don't have the timmign belt on yet. Timming is kinda scary to me...Ive done it on my 240 ALOT but I still don't have it down comfortably.
