Once the timing belt finished you can set the I pump :
the "academic" way :

or like it has been said to me here to not move the pump at all : use the rear camshaft pulley to set the pump !
align the I PUMP, I pump bracket marks and use the special tool to lock the pulley.
then you install your hard lines to the injectors.
tighten all the bolts nuts etc...
( I loosen all the bolts of the pump brackets attached to the block ,install the pump belt let the pump let the pump" fall down" on it's own weight to adjust the tension of the belt and tighten all the bolts and nuts of the brackets )
then loosen the camshaft rear pulley to adjust the pump setting : SO not by rotating the I pump but the rear camshaft pulley
of course you need to remove the pin locking tool first from the pump pulley.
the good thing is that do not create stress on the hard lines and it's faster to set the pump.
use the TDC of the flywheel in a normal way in any case and the dial indicator.
torque the rear camshaft, bolt at the good spec too, it's important !
check and recheck the setting.
