    Hey guys, is anyone willing to check their hub and tell me which direction the engine rotates? A search of the archives didn't bring it up, and if it's in the WSM, I missed it.

    Either SAE (from the driver's perspective) or standing in front of the engine (-x axis) would be fine, just include it in the post to let me know which is the reference origin.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Many thanks, Jim. As you might have surmised, mine is no longer turning.

    360, I haven't seen a car run ccw yet, but my 550 exhibits many things I haven't encountered before. Needed to be certain.

    Hondas are the most notable that run "backwards", however I understand they also have models that run the normal direction.

    Not necessarily....typical Riva Aquarama running twin Riva/Crusader V8's; one turning CW and the other turning CCW. Ditto for twin Chrysler V8 installations, ditto for Chris I6 twin installations.

    SOP for many twin-engined boats, gas or diesel.
