I don't know. But it will be easy to see since it's on a stand and you'll have a fully charged battery and the engine will turn easily with the plugs out (confirm that with a socket wrench, but don't leave the socket wrench sitting on the balancer bolt). Even with an almost dead battery the starter gear usually pulls back in.
