If you did, the trans will have to be pulled so that the engine can be locked at TDC from the flywheel. Oh, and the latter adds roughly $3K to the bill of whatever else is being done.
Thanks for the tip. Pretty sure I will have enough of the boss remaining the crank at tdc.

That doesn't answer the question of why the crank is turning during this job...it shouldn't be
