Ok I'm trying to set the timing on my Z but theres no timing mark on the crank pulley! I've looked over the entire thing and I can not see a mark anywhere... I know where it should be but I cant see it at all.

So can someone tell me how I can find 0* TDC so I can put a mark on the pulley?

It's there... just gotta run your finger nail over the lip until you find it...

Trust me I have, Ive even taken a wire brush to it to make sure it was clean and I still cant find it...

Well, you can either pull the rocker cover and line up the cam to TDC, or pull spark plug #1 & stick a pen in, and hand turn the motor until the pen doesn't move up anymore (or use a flashlight).

Or remove the crank pulley and you can find it from the crank key.

Thats the plan! Thanks for the pics, their just what I was looking for!
