This is one of those "best practices" that become truth when they really are not.

At the end of the day, locking the cams is faster and easier but timing is timing. Get all the marks aligned and the belt on, tensioner released with all timing marks still aligned...you are done.

The complexity is that you have two cams, water pump (not timed), tensioner (not timed), idler (not timed) and crank. The crank timing mark is near impossible to see without highlighting it with whiteout and using a mirror unless you remove the harmonic balancer.

Fyi, having four hands helps but goo process trumps that.
