Might have cranked the engine backwards a bit...
I'm on a roll with the level of stupid things I've done today but anyway this is the one that's worrying me.
For some spacky reason I didn't lock the flywheel at first when I was removing the clutch retaining bolts or when I was undoing the flywheel bolts - pretty sure undoing those bolts rotates the engine the correct way. But I think in the panic I might have rotated the crank back a number of degrees.
Have I fucked anything?

very doubtful, would pay to check cam timing as thats the usual problem if an engine is turned backwards, belt can skip a tooth

Check your rear beam for camber.

Can't say I have ever locked a flywheel while doing a clutch???. I understand what you mean though. Don't worry about it.
