V6? Not recommended at all. You can only really make a good guess at valve timing without a locking kit.
Where do you live? An OOF member may well be local enough to lend you one. I have one that can be borrowed if I live any where near you.
4 pot engines use a very cheap to buy cam lock. £5/6

Still need more!
Which type of V6? The belt change on a 3.2 more difficult than the 3.0, no bottom adjustment.
When was the belt last changed? - You might as well change the water pump while you are there
