To tell you the truth it does not matter where the rotor points (IMO) as long as the wires go to where piston on TDC is. Then it will fire. On mine I would just toss it in there and not give a c--- where it pointed but thats just me. I see a 4 cylinder engine 4 single cylinder engines bolted together with some common parts to make it go. Thats just the way I see things so size and cylinders make no difference to me. Unless it's an odd fire and there is a physical difference in degrees between TDC. Then it make a difference. Otherwise it's just a uniform thing.

So to answer your question yes the wires can be off.

All the crank does is go round and round and push the pistons up.
