To the best of my knowledge you always turn the Engine Clockwise; viewed from the front of the Engine.

Ok, just for the record..... and I hesitate to mention this.. because I TOTALLY AGREE with your warning about NOT turning the engine backwards..
But....
on page 03.8-345/6 f2
"14 Reverse crankshaft for approx 10 degrees by means of combination tool .
15 Screw dial gauge holder with threaded sleeve to stud in the cylinder head.
16 Insert dial gauge and screw measuring extension to dial gauge.
17 Place measuring arm on valve stem with 2 mm preload.
18 Slowly rotate crankshaft with tool combination in direction of rotation of engine until the large needle of the dial gauge stops (TDC position)"
This is under the directions for replacing the TDC transmitter..
for the 617 Turbo engine... and page 03.4-345/6 in the 616,na617 manual.
