LT1 motor rotation

When installing a torque converter you have to rotate the motor to remove and to install the bolts. I am thinking I heard at one point that you don`t want to rotate the motor backwards or let it compress backwards. Is this a fact or not?

The only way that *might* be true is if you use the crank bolt and, due to compression, loosen it.

Other than that, it doesn't matter.
