What is the best way. I can't even see the pointers on the crank, so what do you guys suggest? I followed the Helm method, but it doesn't say how to get to the crank (i.e. what parts have to be removed first, etc.) thanks.

The crank bolt is exposed in the wheel well. You may to remove the wheel to get to it.

thanks. you by any chance know what size the bolt is?

what is to be removed besides the valve cover?
and instead of getting down n dirty with the crank juss pop the ignition, just have a friend turn the key in short burst to the position u desire!!!!!!!!!

Is that a good idea with the valve cover removed? I'm going to be attempting this tomorrow. So any info will help.

I used the power steering pulleye bolt, with all the spark plugs out and it turned over easy, that way you dont have to jack up your car and stuff, it was easy!

I wouldn't use the ignition to try and turn the motor with the valve cover off. Remove your spark plugs and the motor turns easy with the crank. If you have a long enough extension for your socket wrench you will be able to turn the crank without needing to remove the wheel. I haven't tried the powersteering bolt method, maybe I will try that next time.

Here's a link to an article on how to do it in a VTEC motor. Many of the same principles apply.
