This MAY work – but why take the chance?
Align the lower pulley on TDC and check the cam pulley to assure that it is exactly aligned with the reference mark – if it isn’t, align it, tighten the belt and turn the engine over clockwise 360 degrees and recheck it. If the marks are good to go, then so are you.

You know what they say……….
You never seem to have the time to do the job right, but you always have the time to do it over.
