rocker arm install, crank turns which way??

Hi guys,

I'm following Slim's cam install/rocker install instructions, and he indicates that at the "12 o'clock" position the engine should be at #1 TDC, and that if you turn it "90 degrees" it will be at the "3 o'clock position" and this will be the next piston in the firing order...

So I'm unclear, when FACING the crank, which way do I turn? Clockwise or Counterclockwise?.... Judging by the "3 o'clock" I'd say clockwise, but I want to make 100% sure....

Anyway, the process is officially started. The car is on ramps in the garage, the alternator is off, intake air hoses & MAF are off and I'm waiting for it to cool down so I can drain the radiator...

WISH ME LUCK!

Thanks!

-Michael
