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.

Not having removed the IP, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage here. Doesn't the IP have a notch that is aligned with a feature on the gear for the IP timer? There is a "proper" position of the IP with respect to the timer?

Presuming this to be the case, the IP is currently in the "proper" position and rotating it by 180 degrees will put it in an "improper" position.

If this were not the case, then the position of the notch would be irrelevant, which I don't believe to be true.
