“TYPICAL VIEWS ARE SHOWN”
ENGINE ROTATION
Engine Rotation is identified as “RH” or “LH” with the engine model number. Rotation always is determined
from the flywheel end looking toward the front of the engine. In some instances, propeller shaft rotation may
be opposite to that of the engine.
When ordering a replacement engine, production block or parts for the engine, be certain to check engine
rotation. DO NOT rely on propeller rotation in order to determine engine rotation.
LEFT-HAND ROTATION is STANDARD ROTATION.
(Flywheel turns counterclockwise when viewed from flywheel end of the engine.)
RIGHT-HAND ROTATION is OPPOSITE ROTATION.
(Flywheel turns clockwise when viewed from flywheel end of the engine.)
