put the camshaft locking tool in the back side of them it only goes in when there in the right place.

If you not got one you need a 5mm thick flat metal plate that fits into both cams at the same time

180 degrees out won't matter....

Cranks do 2 revolutions to 1 revolution of the cam so that means that when the crank is back at TDC, the cams have only moved 180 degrees anyway.

Just get the Zetec cam locking tool as above...
