I can't seem to find a timing mark on the harmonic or any where else for that matter. The service manual says " Rotate the crankshaft to 40° ATDC" I can't figure out how to find 40 degrees exactly with no indicator. I will be posting some pics tomorrow if i get a chance.
Glad to hear it is not internal. You have any good pics of what happened?
