Because the camshaft is located in the cylinder head, it is essential that the cam timing be aligned with the crankshaft timing. First, determine the crank position for Top Dead Center, which is when number one piston is at the top of its travel between the compression stroke and the combustion stroke. Be careful, because each piston will move through the top of its stroke twice, as this is a four cycle engine. There is a timing mark on the crankshaft pulley which must align with the timing indicator on the block. When #1 is at top of stroke, and the timing mark is at TDC, align the camshaft pulley timing mark(s) with the timing marks on the head. You should have a manual for this vehicle which describes this procedure, and identifies the timing marks on the head, or the position of the camshaft pulley in relation to the head to determine the TDC position of the cam.
Once the crank and the camshaft are properly aligned, the timing belt must be carefully slipped over the camshaft pulley, and routed so that the belt tensioner can apply tension to the belt. Then, the tensioner must be set, which varies from engine to engine. Again, a repair manual has these procedures described and illustrated.

Does the 2005 Honda civic have a timing chain?
According to Honda's website the standard Civic models did not start using a timing chain until 2006 with the exception of the SI models which were a different engine and have always had a timing chain. But PRIOR to 2006 all the other civic models had timing belts (which have to be replaced to be replaced periodically).
