I don't want to sound condescending, but if you need to be asking
these types of questions here, you should give serious consideration
to having someone knowledgeable walk you through this the first time.
I've done this several times with friends. There are too many ways to
do it wrong and some of these could cause serious damage

Nothing posted says anything about removing timing belt
cover. Don't jump to conclusions. Its just not the rocket
science you are making it out to be. Posted was:

This assumes your shop manual has pictures. If not, then
get the Honda manual which includes many pictures and other
information that third party shop manuals abbreviate. Third
party shop manuals are usually abbreviated copies of the
automaker's original manual.

There is no mystery about rotating the crankshaft. Did you
ever replace a tire? Turn crankshaft clockwise - as if
restoring nuts that hold new tire to vehicle. Its really no
different than turning a screw. You are making a trivial
'rotation' into a major campaign.

Each post assumes you were looking at those shop manual
pictures. One picture even shows the crankshaft being
manually rotated with a wrench. Without those pictures, you
cannot appreciate all that was posted.
