1986 crx

i was helping my buddy adjust the valves on his 86 crx....to cut it short we totally forgot it was a interference motor and was turning it clockwise....what are the chances we bent the valves?

Slim to none. Pretty sure you can't bend valves by hand cranking a motor. Don't ever spin the motor clockwise either.
