I can't see the timing marks on my crankshaft pully... does anyone have a quick guide to doing it properly. I need to set the timing i just did the timing chain but i cannot see the marks, the timing is 15 btdc but i donno i need help :p

There should be notches along the back upper ridge of the pulley. You can't really miss em if you're looking at the pointer poking out of the front of the car. It'll point you right to em give or take a centimeter.

If the paint on the marks has worn off, they may be impossibly hard to see with the timing light. If that's the case, rotate the crank with a socket wrench until you see the notches, then paint them with whiteout.
