Re: Timing mark on the bottom pof the engine? (ZX6R1033)
ive had similar problems trying to find the marks on the pulleys.have you read through the 20v.org timing belt write-up?i found it helpful.
also,did you remove the belt without finding the timing marks?you should mark everything off first so you know whats up,lol.
anyways,for the crank there should be a little line on it's edge,it lines up to a little dot that is on the timing cover.chances are that you will not be able to see them because of crusty cake covering them.get a wire brush and clean the pulley and cover up.
next,once you got the crank lined up,there is a notch on the cam gear and it should line up with a mark on the valve cover.also cylinder #1 is the one closest to the grille,pull the plug and stick something like a rigid vacuum hose like 12inches long into it.that will confirmation that you are at TDC.dont go sticking a screwdriver in there,something soft like rubber but nothing that will break off.as you turn the crank to TDC,you will see it reach a point where it dont go up any more.oh,dont use the hose in the cylinder thing without lining up the timing marks,just because the hose goes all the way up,that dont mean that you are truly at TDC.
if you still cant find the marks,i can take pics and post them up.all that i wrote is the assumption that you are working on a 20v.
