Help with engine rotation

Hey guys help me out here I'm having a brain fart and........I cant figure out the direction of rotation.
I'm standing in front of the engine with the timing cover off and a damper bolt in the crank.
If I tighten this bolt (clockwise to me )until it turns the engine over is it not the opposite way the engine would spin?
In other words if a engine spins clockwise thats viewed from the rear not the front?
Thanks
