I guess I should feel blessed to have a garage floor covered in ice!

The oil pump housing is supposed to have a timing mark on it. A raised dot or bump. Pretty poor indicator if you ask me.

As to your problem, you really don't need to find TDC with the crank marks. You are interested to know if your cams line up correctly. The marks on the cams need to be painted with a little white out so they can be seen clearly.

Turn the engine clockwise until both cams line up to their marks. Then continue to rotoate the engine another 90 degrees, and then rotate back until the cams line up again. This releases the VVT tension. If the exhaust cam is then off by 1 tooth, you know what the problem is. The tensioner can then be loosened, the belt slipped off the cams and put back on with them both positioned properly. There should be just enough play to do this, with out removing the belt from the other spinning parts.

The above is pure speculation on my part, not having a VVT engine to practice with :)
