Guys I just rolled the crank over so the keyway would be at 12 o'clock so we could see 3 teeth to the right or left of it at one time. No dot to be found anywhere. Not on the teeth, not behind the oil slinger, not anywhere. I am beginning to believe the 1 dot I did find on the gear is one he put there...

I'm looking at the pic in this post and it does not look like the key is in. Also I thought the keyways were lined up but I could be wrong. been a while since I had mine apart.
