Default Which Direction To Rotate Crank Bolt
I am in the process of changing my timing belt. I need to know which way to turn the crank to put the engine in TDC. I have all the tools. Please help so I can finish this.

you can go in either direction but I go clockwise. But they are in so damn tight I seriously doubt you'll loosen it just by turning over the motor. Take all of the sparkplugs out first so it's easier.

Go clockwise from the front... you dont really wanna go counter-clockwise too much as the bearings are 'worn' already.

Always turn the motor over in the direction it rotates. There are too many things that expect it to go only one way.
