TF is correct.

There will be no interference with the valves if the camshaft is set 180 degrees off the "correct" position. The valves will open and close on the compression/power strokes instead of the exhaust/intake strokes.

The only thing that defines the strokes is the injection event. Without injection, the camshaft can operate the valves in either of two positions..............0 degrees and 180 degrees.
