Default 95 accord timing

95 accord vtec auto..
So I changed the head gasket on my accord but just removed the cam shaft to remove the belt. Is there any way off putting it back on time with out removing the bottom cover off? I already set the engine on tdc in intake do you think I should just put the cam gear on tdc or do I really need to look at the timing mark. And any way of seeing this from the top? Thanks in advance!

Is the balance shaft belt still in place? Is the cylinder head installed on the car yet? Is the camshaft removed, or just the sprocket?

Hi thanks for the reply! I actually put it in time by just putting the sprocket on tdc. But the car is accelerating a lot as in vrooom quiet vroom quiet vroom. I thought it was the fitv but its not it actually wasnt doing this before the head gasket change. Im going to look for a leak hopefully its not the intake manifold gasket grrrr

When you filled the coolant, did you open the bleed valve on the thermostat housing and let air escape?

No I did not. What should i do now? Open the radiator cap and keep refilling it till all the air is out?

Air in the cooling system will mess with the idle.

There is a bleeder valve on the thermostat housing. Use a 12mm deep socket and loosen. Add coolant to the radiator until air stops spitting out of the bleeder valve and a steady stream of coolant comes out. When that happens, close bleeder valve and top off the radiator.

There is a good video from ericthecarguy on YouTube about filling a radiator that is useful.
