Is this a car engine you are talking about or a marine application?

I assume you're talking about a DSM...they rotate clockwise.

are you from club3g? Did you have the red turbo gs?

I have never heard of any car engine that rotates counterclockwise, only marine engines in twin-engine applications. Shouldn't matter if it's a DSM or '67 Chevy...

all you'd have to do is follow the rotation of the belts which is, as pointed out above, clockwise.

Go work on a honda. With the engine on the wrong side of the car you have to run a dummy shaft in the tranny to get the axles rotating the right direction, like mitsu. Honda chose to make their engines rotate counter clockwise to get around that problem. They mount the engine on the drivers side (US) so that there is more room for the brake MC/vacuum boost in the japanese models, it's easier to put together on the assembly line that way.
New Hondas have the engine mounted on the right side and rotate clockwise like the rest of the world.

Never knew Honda was back-asswards on crank rotation, I guess it's a good thing I don't work on em. One can learn something new everyday on these forums

not all of them do they did it just to piss mechanics off when they went to ajt tappets on them. no wonder they lost the SWWar they didn't know whether they were coming or going!

Yep, that's me. It was an RS actually though (but yeah turbo).
