I have the 93 eclipse gs 1.8l single overhead..

Is the timing mark for the crankshaft on the piece thats red? yellow? or behind the yellow mark where the purple arrow is pointing?


I thought the mark is the black circle...?


NEED PICTURE OF SOME SORT THAT SHOWS THE TIMING MARK; i cant find it for the life of me..

there should be a notch or dot in the plate that goes over the balance shaft gear.

Glad you got it figured out, and yes, I agree a picture is needed. Just an FYI, this is the last post of that thread I linked to which sounds like it describes the same mark you discovered. Sorry you didn't find it helpful.

...I figured out yesterday afternoon that I was looking at what I will call the outer sprocket flange on the crank and low and behold it IS on the sprocket flange, the inside one (partially hidden until I rolled it while someone else looked from the top)...
