    I am trying to change the timimg belt on my 94 accord. The problem I
    have is that the pulley on the crankshaft is so rusted thatI cannot
    see any marks, red or white.

    How do I find TDC?

    Or can I just mark the belt and the gears with whiteout, transfer the
    marks to the new belt and line up (like I have read in these groups)
    and ignore TDC?

    Thank-you.

    in the absence of marks, the white-out solution works great. in fact,
    that's oem procedure on many different brands of vehicles.

    Finding TDC is not too hard on most cars. What I do is pull the number
    one spark plug and then insert one of those disposable chinese take out chop
    sticks in the spark plug hole. I then turn the engine with my breaker bar
    and watch the chop stick. When it tops out, you have reached TDC. Then you
    can mark the pulley with some paint.
