S54 Rotational Torque

Good morning!! Looking in the direction of travel, does the engine have a tendency to rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise when the rpms increase?
Why don't I just look at my engine, you ask. Well, it's still not running (incomplete supercharger installation). I've watched three videos of other engines, and, from the videos, it doesn't look as though the engine "torques" much at all. I'm asking because I have about 6mm clearance, at one point, in the engine compartment between the strut tower and a portion of the intake.
Thanks for your help!!

Can you look at the fan? The direction of the vanes will give you what you need.

the engine rotation is to the driver side, and that would be the direction it rocks under load.
