Default OBD II scan tool

2000 Cherokee, I-6, 4.0 L, AW-4

I'm replacing an engine in my jeep. The donor engine is older (year unknown) but it did have a distributor. I have already found the TDC and have installed the Oil pump drive and the Cam shaft posistion sensor. The book tells me that after I have installed the engine I need to verify the correct rotational posistion of the oil pump drive. To do this they say I need a DRB scan tool, well I don't have a few thousand dollars to purchase this tool.

Will a OBD II scan tool acomplish the same thing? I was looking at this;

Diesil might know this for sure if he is all that ASE patch mechanic so he should have a better idea. To bad you dont know anybody with one, wish you were closer I could help you out, but try asking Diesil.g/l
