Default Quick Question, Removing Crankshaft bolt

I'm changing my timing belt.

About to remove the Crankshaft bolt.

I have an impact wrench if needed.

Question is, is it ok to rotate the crank? The TB is removed from the Camshaft pullies, so those won't move, but I don't want to get he Crank in the wrong position.

Thanks.

If your car is 90-94, its ok to turn the crank. If its 95+, you'll bend valves.
