It is possible to make your own belt loosening tool with some threaded stock and a nut, I have seen the specs on the forum before but for the life of me I can't find it with the useless search feature that we have on here. I tried and tried I want the info myself.
As for timing, your cams will spin once for every 2 rotations of the crank. So you are right, if the marks are lined up to the notch on the valvecover then you indeed have TDC.
You can also look pull off the valve cover and look at the cams. All the lobes should be pointing out, all valves closed for cylinder 1. Obviously if you have the oilpan off you can also look from under and see the piston up at the top of its travel.
