Stick the water pump on and see if the pulley grooves and belt marks on the pump line up.

There is a procedure that should be followed and part of it is the measurement from the edge of the pulley hub to the end of the crank snout. Don't use a bolt to pull it on.

I posted the service manual procedure recently in post #7 of this thread: Link
