NEVER ROTATE THE ENGINE COUNTER CLOCKWISE! That will break or bend things for sure.

You will not rotate the engine until the cams are removed, which will get the valves out of the way. Then it is rotated to TDC and locked to put it back together. The cam retainers will go in with the cams in any position.
