It might not be official but it's there.There is a mark on the harmonic damper.  It
can only go onto the t-belt pulley one way (four allen bolts).It's a small groove
cut into the top of the last (closest to the engine) belt runner.
There is two refrence marks to go with it.  One is pressed into the timing belt
cover (lower one) and the other is a casting extension from the oil pump housing.
If you look at the engine it's at about 1-2'o clock.
It's not very accurate (like the flywheel) but for checking T-belt it's perfect.
