hi trying to find timing marks on bottom pulley as says in haynes but have no mark like in the picture, there are some holes drilled in the side of the pulley though which is different to other pulleys i've noticed no holes in them.

Anyone help with timing without having to take this pulley off and do it from the sproket.

assuming tdc is at very top middle of the 10degree dwell period,

just that there are some painted marks already on but they dont seem to be in the middle of tdc piston seems to be already slightly going back down when these painted marks are lined up so unsure if to use them, they could be marks for anything lol

bottom pulley timing mark is recessed triangle on pulley,u will need to remove torx bolt(t 10 i think) and they can be tight!!( if u dont have buzz gun,be cheeky go to local tyre centre with socket and ask them to slacken bolt and nip it back up for short drive home with ratchet/bar etc,much easier to then remove,@ home),to remove poly belt pulley,then u will see marker-some time up to notch in sump and others to mark in plastic caseing,u will need to check-just done 2 engine strips recently and both were to plastic case,even tho my plastic case was destroyed and i had to buy new casing from dealer @ £25,top pulleys time to together(ie opposite) buy cheap lockup tool on ebay makes job easier
