Clockwise looking at it from the front ...

1. DO NOT use the power steering pump nut to turn the engine.
lots of posts on that... the FSM says Don't do it... and I have posted the reason and my experience helping TCane fixing one a PO did that to...
2. Do not turn the engine backwards anymore than you absolutely have to... in general the instructions in the FSM are very specific... there is one time I have found a few degrees are ok... but you are running the risk of getting the IP timing off..
3 . Remember that setting the IP timing can be done without affecting the cam timing with the offset key... much easier.. use piston position to set the IP timing...
4. Check to see that your pulley with timing marks on it is in good condition and has not moved on the crank.
5. Check by moving the crank end bolt to see if you still have the increased resistance for turning while the plugs are out...
