If you trust the marks on the tower then go for it. Personally, I'd want the confirmation from the dial indicator before I made such a change, but, provided the engine will rotate by hand when you get done, you can't hurt anything.

Just be absolutely sure you know where you are now, so, worst case, you can return to this point if the marks are not proper on this engine, for whatever reason.
