Just a thought re timing marks on the cam pinion and crank pinion.

As long as the cam pinion dot aligns with the mark on the crankcase, and the crank keyway aligns with the dot on the case, the position of the marks on the crank pinion dont really matter as long as you can get the belt on and maintain the position of the dot on the crank pinion and crankshaft keyway?

Is that right ?
