Default TDC Question\New camgear installed

I have just installed a Skunk2 cam gear into my 1995 Honda Accord Coupe, and I have a question. When I took the old gear off, I tried my damndest to keep the belt in the same place and the crank at TDC. Luckely the gear is keyed so it can only go on one way. Now that I have it installed, I want to double check to make sure that it is still at TDC, so if I need to I can adjust the gear and the cam. How do I do this? Does anybody know, or can you give me a good web site to tell me how. I don't want to run the car till I check.
Thank you for any help you can provide me with.
:cheers:

Default More information

I was looking at my cam gear and it is basically retarded 10 degrees or so. When I took off the cam gear and the timing belt Every thing was kosher. It was set to TDC and the cam gear it was in the up position and the divit on the camshaft (were the notch is taken out) was on top. I put on the new cam gear and the the timing belt and it is retarded 10 Degrees. Should I just take off the belt again and turn the cam foward till it is back in the up position or should i do something else? I don't think that the crank moved at all when replacing the cam gear. So then does that mean the the crank is at TDC and the cam is retarded 10 degrees. I dont want my valves and pistons to be shaking hands. Thank you for any help that you can provide me with once again.
