I replace the head I thought I was at top dead center when I pull the head off, but now the engine wont start. How do I get my timing back correct?

I am assuming this is a pickup this is for a 2.0 liter which is pictured. Silent shaft must be aligned as well. See pictures.

That worked. What is the correct firing order on a 1988 two liter four cylinder?
