Default Need help asap finding timing mark

I have my 1995 850 turbo apart and cannot find the timing mark on the crankshaft. I am near the point but I am not sure it is exact. Does anyone have a good picture of it. Need help as I have replaced tensioner and hydralic pulley also..

this mark on the valley of teeth is also referenced from a flat area with a dimple on it just on the outer side of this gear where it meets the belt drive pulley.

Default Got er done

Found the mark with patience and installed the tensioner and pulleys. The belt was a little tricky keeping the right side tight.
The directions on the forum are great. I left the crankshaft on and had little problems getting belt off and on.
I must say there is not alot of room to work as the hex key to remove the tensioner pulley is very tight.
Thanks to everyone that replied to my posts.
I have done brake rotors and pads and now just tackled timing belt. Wonder what the next project will be?

Thx again
