That's the correct procedure according to the VX instructions. Nickbat and I ended up with it 1 tooth out after trying that several times. I think the belt run from the tensioner roller to the crank was getting too tight back at 10deg btdc and it was slipping a tooth without us noticing.

Anyway, having established that the whole lot is out by one tooth, it's easy to lock the cams up again at TDC positions and slip the crank pulley round one tooth on the belt, before tensioning the belt again, removing the cam locks, crank 2 turns and checking. Seemed easier than starting again at any rate.

As you say, once you've got the knack and deciphered the instructions it's going to be a lot easier next time.
