Maybe it's semantics but why rotate the crank? Remove and reinstall the cam. Then figure out if the IP has to be phased as well.

Now there is a lot of work in removing and reinstalling the cam. It is a lot less work then rotate engine 180 or 360 degree. It takes 720 degrees or two complete turns of the engine to turn the cam once or 360 degrees. So to get to the other side of the cycle, remove the IP, turn it 360 and reinstall the pump. No, I have never done this, I just "think" it might work.
