    Rh rotation help !

    I will check next time I’m on the boat. Just to make the story a little more confusing, There is the possibility that it is a standard rotation engine that had the wrong starter motor fitted to it. As I said, when I bought the boat it had 2 siezed engines in it, but the starboard engine had...

    Rh rotation help !

    Crusader Gen6 rh rotation info ?

    They are the original engines in my 98 Trojan. I took the motors out and sent them to get rebuilt. I’m not sure what gear they had or what the builder has done. I took the timing cover off of the rh rotation motor and it has a single row timing chain. The motors are 6 bolt alloy timing covers...

    Rh rotation help !

    Thanks for your input. That’s what I was thinking, the only thing that is confusing me is. Am I able to use the rh rotation cam shaft ? By changing the starter motor the cam would now be spinning in the correct Direction, but the firing order would remain as the rh rotation engine was designed to ?

    Rh rotation help !

    Hi mate, thank you for your response, The pistons he has used can’t be reversed( see pics) I was just thinking that if I Change the rotation of the engine back to lh rotation the cam would then be spinning in the correct direction as it was designed to. And the firing order would remain as it...
