There is no keyway, and no special orientation unless the crank, flywheel and PP
have all been balanced together (generally not). Buuut, If I were going to go
to the effort
to pull the engine, I sure would replace the flywheel or the ring gear rather
than just
rotating it.

Hmmm, kinda doubt it guys. AFAIK, flywheels are usually keyed to fit on the
crank in only one orientation... but I don't know roadsters as well as
all-a-y'all, so YMMV.

thanks to my dog jumping shift action;-)
