Setting engine timing on a 98 Honda Passport?

To set the engine timing on a 1998 Honda Passport, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Then, locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover; align the marks according to the specifications in the service manual. If your model has a distributor, loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor until the timing light indicates the correct timing setting. Finally, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains in the correct position.
