I would think that there should also be one on your clutch fan hub as well. IMO that is where it was lined up when it was originally assembled & torqued. An original unrestored Corvette I tore into a couple years ago was that way & that is the way I put it back when I reassembled it.

I'm sorry it was on the water pump housing where it mates up to the pulley. Not sure if the pulley was marked as I bead blasted and painted it.

So, this just indentifed that it was torqued? it was just one yellow small blop of paint just above one nut on the housing.

Its quite common for places that do a lot of assembly work to mark nuts that have been torqued down to spec by using a paint pen.

Even to this day I do this working on my own vehicles when I am doing a LOT of assembly on A LOT of things and could forget what I torqued and what I didn't.

I'm sorry -I'm still not seeing a pic.

At this point it could be anything but without seeing it I would have to say either an alignment mark or paint dot denoting the fasteners had been torqued (as previously mentioned).
