You are supposed to a valve lash adjustment with the engine cold.

It should not make a difference what way you turned the motor to get to TDC as long as your camshafts and your crankshafts are on the marks. It is advised you turn the crankshaft clockwise so you don't unthread the bolt while trying to turn the motor over.

Hope that helps?
