Default Timing Marks 99 9-3

OK so I am in the process of breaking down the head for gasket repair. So I have only the intake manifold and chain removal. I found one timing mark on the crank pulley cover and that was all.
1. Where is the mark on the pulley itself.
2. Where are the timing marks for the cams?

Thanks. I read that last week and totally did not see the marks on the cams the first time. saw them really good this time. BTW, the crank pulley mark should be inside of the mark on the cover, correct?

make sure after you line up the marks that you have 15 chain links between the marks on the cams gears

Thanks everyone. So both cams have marks correct? And do the sprockets themselves have timing marks?

Ok, so I went out and turned the crank. I saw the yellow colored links but they never lined up with the TDC mark. I turned the crank at least 4-5 full rotations and nothing. So here is what I have. Pics of the cams and a dark pic of crank line. Is this TDC. Crank is in the middle if not barely, ever so slightly to the right.
