For whatever reason, could not access the BB for a day or so, had to post on Matthew's (just realizing how much info is on that site for AWD Volvos).

In the middle, finally, of the 850's timing belt swap. Compared to my VW, very straightforward; however, I just can't seem to find the mark on the crank sprocket. I've read hundreds of posts on this. The mark is supposed to be in the valley between 2 teeth, correct? What am I missing, needless to say this has stalled the task at hand.

There is a mark on the outboard side of the sprocket next to the crank pulley, seems weird to have the mark on the other side of the sprocket, but what do I know. I do know that I want the crank sprocket correctly at the mark, before I undo the belt. Always get crank right, then check cams. For what it's worth the cams line up nicely to the marks on the plastic cover. I don't want to remove the crank pulley, but could as I have air tools, but this seems like a lot of work as re-torquing will be a pain.

Thanks, Mike
