Turn slowly, then.  If that really becomes an issue, I guess you back each
plug off a couple of turns.

  True, but if you turn it too fast with the spark plugs in, the compression
will be an issue.

    You should be able to turn the engine - either direction by using two
hands
    on the belt - one on each side.  This assumes that the balancer is in
place!
    Be careful of pinching you hand in a pulley.
