The stick in the spark plug hole of #1 cylinder should work
fine, too. Rotating only by hand should not damage anything,
assuming you do not force rotation too much. Remember the
front passenger side wheel has to be on the ground to get
the engine to rotate via turning the front driver's side
wheel.

The red marks do not indicate TDC; they are for setting the
ignition timing. You should follow the procedure for
checking the ignition timing anytime after replacing the
timing belt.

Reports of being off a tooth are fairly common at this
newsgroup. Hang in there.
