this information comes from the new autodata cd I have recently recieved so if its wrong then so is every other garage lol

im hoping ive done the crank postion right, in that picture that was posted with the pulley near off you can see the mark if you shine a tourch down from the top of the engine you can see the mark with the pulley still in place if you look at the pulley thing the belt goes round there is a odd one out well thats what it looks like to me im sure it has a small pin like hole on the spline, quote me if im wrong but im new to all of this, and would love the input info etc.(please note i have not touched anything just alined it all up as im trying to find out the cause of the engine what i call running on-and shutting of dead sometimes.) and looking at the top to pulleys the right hand side one inlet i think is out dosnt sit in alinement, (ps volvo mec has told me they should both sit spot on in the middle of the marks on the back case cover.)
