Need help on timing mark

After all the research im more than ready to do my valve lash adjustment with the tools and procedures. I got everything figured out except the MARK that I need with the pulley. I changed my pulley and did not put any marks on it so it screw me up a little bit. Im looking @ my stock pulley right now and there is a hole on the side, when the stock pulley is installed does the little hole needs to be aligned with the "T"mark on the side? Do I need to re-install my stock pulley or there is another way to do it easier? Thanks.

On the stock pulley, it's the notch on the edge (not the hole) that needs to line up with the timing mark on the timing belt cover. However, with the UDP, this is really easy to do. If you put the keyhole on the pulley at 3 o'clock, then the engine will be at TDC.

Otter, Thanks for a great How to.

I checked the steps to do this adjustment last weekend. Turned the wheel to the right and looked through the opening at the pully. On the outer edge of the square hole where you insert the wrench I noticed a white painted dot. If you put this dot at 12:00, it will get the notch on the pully's edge real close to the timing mark. Centering this dot saves some time.
