5.4 engine rotation direection?

On a 2003 5.4

Pretty simple was trying to line up my bell housing bolts and flywheel to torque convert getting it into the truck the other day.
Didn't think about it and rotated the flywheel 90 degrees. Now thinking about it, I might of jumped timing doing this.

What direction looking at the crank harmonic balancer does it rotate? Want to try rotating by hand a couple times to insure I
didn't jump timing and make sure a valve doesn't hit.

Thanks in advance!
