Not mine nor do I know whose it is, just recall someone looking for one recently:

Engine Rotation

Post by tartansailor »

From the photograph, it appears that the crank is designed to turn the 1GM engine counterclockwise!

Is that true, or is the photo somehow giving a mirror image??

Anyone with a 1GM engine care to comment?

Thanks in advance.

Counter intuitive

Dick,

My service manual says "when turning by hand, rotate to the left, counterclockwise". (And that's how I've always turned mine.) Hope this helps.

It doesn't look like it would be very hard to weld one of those up out of pipe and flat bar, Steve.
