98 V70 NA doing timing belt job right now - need help

I've rotated the crank to get the cam shaft marks aligned with the marks on the top TB cover and that looks good. When I go down below to check the tick mark on the crankshaft I can find one on the crankshaft but I see nothing to compare it against on the oil pump housing. I've been looking for half and hour and don't find anything. I haven't removed the lower TB cover yet. My car is a non-turbo.

Thanks. I was referring to your instructions but in black and white they were hard for me to read and didn't understand them. So, initially and couldn't find the mark. I eventually found it. Thanks for the help. My lower TB cover was broken by the last guy who did a TB change and I finished it off. I was trying to leave it installed but found that removing the WP gasket was too difficult without taking it off.

Oh well, I can fix it with some steel straps, but it set me back schedule-wise. I guess I'll finish up tomorrow. The dealer can't get a part in my hands until late Tuesday ($52.00 - way too much) and my local used parts guy isn't open until Monday.

The nipple I asked for comments on wasn't as bad as I remember it. I can probably clean it up again and spray some Extend on it.
