Instructions for timeing-belt change says the crankshaft should be turned by hand 2 revolutions clockwise berfor starting the engine. I would guess that indicates the crankshaft are also running in clockwise direction when the engine are running?
Can anyone confirm that?

Yes Axa, that is a trial run in turning the engine by hand.
Honda at one time were about the only engines running anti-clockwise. They did change it at some point recently for conventional clockwise.
