No that's not the most accurate way. Proper why is to make sure both dot on the camshafts are facing each other & the "UP" mark is facing 12 noon. also the crankshaft pulley has the red mark on it is inline with the tick mark that is on the timing belt cover.

Now the quickest way is to look the distributor and make sure the rotor is pointing to cylinder #1. This is a guarantee it is at TDC at #1 cylinder.
