Anyone know if there is a timing mark on the crank?

My engine is on a stand without the flywheel so cant lock the flywheel, noticed there is a line on the crank pulley, does this line up with anything?

cheers

there is a small hole by the crank sensor which you can put an allen key into to lock the bottom end.
my flywheel had a little scratch on it at tdc. use this as a guide marker. but remove a spark plug and stick a long screwdriver into the hole and rotate the flywheel and find the highest point. now see if it matches the mark on the flywheel and lock it out.

there is a guage tool you can use to find tdc but i can never remember its name, plus it cost pennies which can be avoided by using my above method

my advice pop a flywheel on ;) even on the engine stand you should be able to fit it

Cant fit flywheel on while the engine is on the stand.

Can see a line on the crack pulley, was wondering if this lines up with a point on the block that shows me the timing marks?

cheers
