It will be in the right place.

Think about it like this:
When the notch is in the "right" place in the current configuration, the #1 piston is coming up on the exhaust stroke instead of the compression stroke.
Remove the IP, turn the crank 360 degrees, then reinstall IP.
The notch doesn't move.

Alternatively, rotate the IP 180 degrees. The notch moves to the "right" place from being 180 degrees out. Essentially, nothing different than what one would do when installing a replacement IP.
