Default Small Turbo Cambelt TDC

Hi all
This has probably been covered quite few times, but looking over the threads all I can find is images of crank pulley's with 4 lugs on them. My Crank pulley hasnt got for lugs, its got a full set of teeth with a gap as if one was missing.

I am guessing its a 36-1 pulley, so where is TDC on this beast....

Many thanks in advance

Hi, can you explain what you mean by lines?

There are grooves cut into the surface on the circumference.

There is 1 v groove machined into the rear face of the pulley which will line up with the tdc marker.

Thanks guys for all your input. I must admit I would have thought the markings would have been more obvious to see, mine appears to have none except the missing tooth. I guess the welding rod down no1 is the only way to do this.
