What marks do I look for on the flywheel when I set the timing on a 4g VTEC?

look down this forum to PROS AND CONS OF TIMING ADVANCE, I did a long thing on how to do it, and what the markings look like.

If you have a stock flywheel, the markings are clear, if you have a CM or Fidanza lightweight flywheel, there are NO markings. When you have it installed you need to mark it then.

Also there is a plug located on the flywheel housing, towards the left front side of the motor if you are facing the engine bay. Remove the plug and you can aim the timing light down into the opening.

You said "the Markings are clear", does that mean there is more than one. All I saw was one mark, but someone else mentioned its TDC mark.

Thanks.
