Please explain the use of "against the sense of" and "in the sense of" in this case?

Question

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?

Answer 1

Yes, I'd imagine so. is it a foreign car? Probably horrible translation!
