There are not timing marks on this vehicle. Abolt broke, broke the time belt and then when I am replacing everything I notice no timing marks. Do you know where it should be?

As Marks diagram shows, the lower pulley has a mark that aligns with a mark on the oil pump, then the camshafts. Since the belt broke you will have to rotate the crank and cam to timing position by hand.
