Is it a 850 or S70 and which year?
Also next time post the quiestion in the proper section this way everyone will see and be able to help.

 

how nice, you and your father in law can do something together, great bonding time.

 

Welcome to the forum, I hope you find it helpful & enjoyable.

As to the timing marks, in the case of 850, the cam pulleys have tiny marks that I usually enhance with a correction fluid. As for the crank pulley side, there is actually a large botch that no manual seems to point out. The botch is located closer to the crank pulley, as you view it from top.

Good luck,


JPN
