Usually, if this is done wrong, it will work for awhile and then slip 
and be "out of time." One thing you can do is just check the timing 
and see if it is still correct. If it is, then ignore my suggestion.

They will only properly engage in the correct position, but they can 
tend to sort of catch in a wrong position. If it's wrong, you can 
usually twist the rotor and force it to slip around.

Yes, you can do this in any position. The 2 parts will slip together 
and then be appropriately timed and locked to each other.
