timing belt alignment

[Sleeper]

Could someone post the pictures of how the crank should be lined up for belt install? I've searched, and all the posts reference a post that doesn't seem to have the pictures available anymore. I have the crank within a tooth or two, but I can't find any marks to line up to anything. The only "unique" part of the TB pulley is the woodruff(sp?) key. The crank pulley has three notches in it, but none of them are white, as some posts have mentioned they could be, and there aren't any other marks on it. Not that I could easily line them up with the removed timing cover anyway...

go to Shotimes and they have the timing belt procedure with pictures for both the mtx and automatic.

Basically, after aligning the camshaft gears and their respective lines on the timing belt; there should be a punched dot on the crank shaft timing pulley (gear) to match the remaining line on the tming belt. You may have to put the car in 5th gear, turn the front right wheel to turn the crank shaft timing pulley to match its corresponding line on the belt.
