Well when i got my engine the pulley on the front of the motor with the red and yellow timing ticks wasnt installed. Does it have to be installed at a certain spot? How do i kno where the tick marks have to be when installing?

With the acentric shaft keyway in the 9 o'clockish position the tick marks should line up with the timing pin.

I have a aftermarket pulley tghat has about 6 marks on it and it is much lighter than the stock one.

Don't know which one I'm supposed to time it on and wether or not it is worth the trouble.
