My reply got deleted, my question was you said as far as timing make sure the crankshaft is about 25 degrees off center so that the camshafts are able to get in position, my question is the crankshaft off center clockwise or counterclockwise, Big fan thank you

You said “leave the crank 25 degrees off center to be able to position the cams first ” but off center clockwise or counterclockwise. First time attempting to do this job on my 2000 acura tl, thank you
