On an 8V you CAN do it that way but its less reliable than eye balling
all the timing marks before installing the timing belt. 
If you cranked the motor on a 16V you would bang at least one set of
intake and exhaust valves. Depending on how its sitting. You could do
more damage. Better yet, just don't do it.  : )
