If you are standing in front of the car, then Clockwise.
If you are sitting in the car, then Counter-Clockwise.

Therefore, to turn the engine over in the right direction, put a ratchet wrench and socket on the crank pulley with the wrench set to tighten.
Right hand rule with right hand threads. (Make sure the transmission is in neutral.)
