My question is: If a vehicle pivots does that count as moving for the purposes of CC? ---you have to hit on 4's instead of the autohit?

No, pivoting by itself does not count as movement, as you can still pivot on the spot and fire all of your guns.

I'm trying to find the wording for it in the rulebook/faq, which I'm failing at, but I believe it stated that pivoting does not count as moving for the vehicle, but DOES count as moving for the unit inside the vehicle.

Rule book page 57:

"Pivoting on the spot alone does not count as moving..."

Page 66:

"Models firing from a vehicle count as moving if the vehicle moves..."

So it is fine to pivot.

I believe it was in one of the FAQ's, I just don't have time to look at the moment, when I'm not at work I'll see if I can find it.

It's not, you are thinking of disembarking. Pivoting counts as the vehicle having moved for disembarking units.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Ah, thanks.. I knew I'd read something about pivoting counting as moving for some scenario
