Default Spinning the Prop Wrong Way???

I am a newbie to glow engines and airplanes. just finished building plane and had a buddy over to start. He insisted to spin the pop clockwise which is WRONG. We probably spun it clockwise a dozen or so times before I referred to the trusty instruction manual. We only spun it about a dozen times the right way with no luck. My question is DID I DAMAGE MY ENGINE BY SPINNING PROP WRONG WAY?? IF SO DO YOU THINK IT IS FIXABLE OR WOULD I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE? I am going to shop tomorrow to put an electric starteer on it. Hopefully it will fire up! Thanks for the help.... I guess I can say at least I haven't lost a tooth or set myself on fire trying to start the thing.
