i was just wondering if you time the engine without a timing light. i have a 89 accord five speed carb.

that would be kinda difficult to do if you want to set it to factory specs. There's a timing hole in the transmission where you're supposed to check the timing.

well i know there is a white line on the crankcase but I'm not sure if you should line it up side by side to the mark or if its like 5 degrees BTDC, that the only thing i need to know
There should be two marks. One for TDC. The other will be your timing mark. For a California carb car you want 20 deg. BTDC.
