Honda D16 engine timing marks

The Honda D16 engine features timing marks on both the crankshaft and camshaft to ensure proper alignment during timing belt installation or adjustment. The crankshaft timing mark is typically located on the front of the engine, aligned with a notch on the timing cover, while the camshaft marks are found on the cam gears, which should align with the corresponding marks on the cylinder head. When setting the timing, ensure that the crankshaft is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Proper alignment of these marks is crucial for optimal engine performance.
