momentum is your enemy - and your ears are your friend. If you're off by a little, it will take several turns before you feel and hear it.
It's very easy to bend a valve by rotating the crank with a wrench, but by hand, it's much much harder. You also have the advantage of knowing your firing sequence - so as each cylinder approaches it's tdc, watch the positioning of your valves.
And remember to keep track of how many times you turned the crank, if (and from the sounds of things, this isn't going to be a problem) you're off, and you feel like you're fighting to turn the engine, rewind the crank to where you started.
Looking forward to hearing a great success story tomorrow!

Will hand turning the crank with belts on as slowly as humanly possible and stopping at the least bit of resistance hurt anything?
Thank you all.
