Yet another TM ambiguous mistake??
The way I have always done it is set the motor as you did, at 20*
Verify marks in the IP window are aligned.
Remove the pump.
Do not touch or rotate the engine!
Rebuild the pump and align the marks when finished rebuilding.
Reinstall the IP with the IP marks aligned and tighten bolts.
That's it. I really don't see any reason to rotate 180* the return to 20* and recheck.
Its all solid connections with no slop, it's not like trying to align a timing belt with a tensioner involved or anything.
I also see no reason why you can't turn it backwards. There's nothing in the IP that will get damaged at this point.
There are a couple other tricks when installing the rebuilt pump, but we can discuss that when you are ready.
Just tricks to not screwing up the unbrella seals on the shaft ( like I did the first time ) and how to bleed out trapped air within the pump cavity.
