The first time I tried to set the timing I messed it up and was fortunate it catch my mistake when I was doing one last check before putting the timing cover back on.

So, the short answer is no. From what I remember from a couple of videos on the subject, you have to know the position of the crank sprocket to set/check the timing. I've done timing belts on "ej's" but was too chicken to try timing an FA20.
