How do you set timing marks on a 89 Honda prelude?

To set the timing marks on a 1989 Honda Prelude, first ensure the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, aligning them according to the manufacturer's specifications. Adjust the distributor if necessary to achieve the correct ignition timing, typically around 16 degrees BTDC for this model. Finally, secure all components and double-check the alignment before reassembling any covers or components.
