On the b18a1 motor where are the timing marks...I went to my mechanic and he said the I was missing one of the marks. He said I have the one on the pulley but he said I needed another one. Is it supposed to be on the plastic timing belt cover or can someone get me a picture of this?

 

on the cam gears there is 2 on each cam

 

Do you think that is what he was talking about because he wasn't really specific with me but he did say it was by the crank pulley. My valve cover was cut back to where you can see the cam gears completely...I don't know if that would make a difference and I still have stock cam gears. The plastic timing belt cover is a little cut up too. The reason I am asking this is because my friend has a b18b1 he is parting out and he said if I can figure out what the part is I can have it off his motor so I would really like to see a picture of how these motors get timed so I can see exactly what I am missing.

 

It's on the oil pump you have to take the pulley off and line up the actual gear. my motor is upside down btw

or you could do it the ghetto way and stick a long screwdriver in the spark plug hole for the #1 piston and see where the screwdriver is at the highest point or at TDC

I've done it both ways
