Which direction does the motor turn?

Just a quick question If I have the engine pulled and the timing chain cover removed and the timing chains are facing me what direction does the motor turn?

I could give a **** about my post count. Asking what direction a average engine turns is just an @ss hat question away from stupidity.

Go look at your engine while it is running and tell youself if it's counter clockwise or clockwise.

A$$HAT!!!!

If it's such an "*** hat" question why would you poke back in to check on it? lol.. Anyways, I was trying to figure out in my head what caused damage to my intake cam (I'm replacing my timing chains, tensioners, and guides) and that was one question to ask in the process of figuring it out and I was at work away from my car (that has the engine pulled) when I asked the question.
