Doesn't that assume that the engine tends to stop in the same place every time?
Is that what generally happens?

I assumed that there were 4 possible places that it would stop, unless you had 
some cylinders with much lower compression than others. Plus, wouldn't rotating 
the flywheel upset any balancing that was done originally?
