Turn the crankshaft against the sense of the engine rotation so that you exceed by minimum 10° the
injection advance of 12°+1° as it is specified for the relevant engine type (Fig. 80).
b. Crank the engine in the sense of the engine rotation to adjust the crankshaft to the position cor
responding to the required value of the piston remoteness (use the tool MSU 0276.1 to measure it).

Does 'against the sense of' ' mean in the opposite direction and 'in the sense of" mean in the same direction?

I've decided to scrap usage of my full first name, in favor of two initials (long story why). So what works better, DJ (first and middle, but I know very little about music ;) ), or DB (first and last, but kind of weird when used with my full last name?

Is the expression:
If worse came to worst...
If worst came to worse...
If worse came to worse...

I think of it as "If worse came to worst...." but what's the actual, if there is a set? Or how do you say it?

My father □ me to become a doctor.

1…advises
2…considers
3…hopes
4…thinks

I'm a Japanese who is nonplused by above question and understood by half that according to the sentence formed from S(Subject)+Vt(Verb transitive)+O(Object)+C(objective complement), it needs (O=C). Furthermore, a book of reference says that it is allowed to use only the verb that means positive action to person in English grammar. Therefore, (1…advises) is led as the correct one.
But some dictionaries says that Both (2…considers) and (4…thinks) are allowed to use the form of (SVO + to +Verb). For example,

【consider】
・ We consider him (to be) a hero.
・ I consider him to have behaved badly.

【think】
・ I thought him (to be) unkind.

Could you please explain them ?

Best regards and thanks in advance.
