Timing mark?

Ok I'm trying to set the timing on my Z but theres no timing mark on the crank pulley! I've looked over the entire thing and I can not see a mark anywhere... I know where it should be but I cant see it at all.

So can someone tell me how I can find 0* TDC so I can put a mark on the pulley?

It's there... just gotta run your finger nail over the lip until you find it...

Well, you can either pull the rocker cover and line up the cam to TDC, or pull spark plug #1 & stick a pen in, and hand turn the motor until the pen doesn't move up anymore (or use a flashlight).

Or remove the crank pulley and you can find it from the crank key.
