Thanks for experienced advise here
The reason it turns easier CCW (counter clockwise) is that when turning clockwise you are now engaging the roller clutch for the electric starter and trying to turn it as well.

It should not harm anything turning clockwise small amounts, but one should not do it a lot.

Congrats on your first valve adjustment!
