You made no mention of what kind of car this is, but I'll assume its a 90-99 turbo. NT4g63s are probably the saem in thsi regard. NT 2G? youre on your own.
Put the crank pulley timing mark at the TDC or zero mark or whatever the hell they labeled it on the timing belt cover. With the uppper tbelt cover off make sure the timing marks are aligned with the dowel pins at 12 oclock. It really is that simple. For a quick check anyway
