Morning all

Would anyone know what the direction of rotation of the crank is please on a K20Z4 fn2 engine please,
Looking at building the engine into a rear wheel drive space framed car but need to know which way it rotates,
Thanks Paul

Clockwise from the timing end.

Never known any engine not to turn over clockwise...

Sure, but how many do you know of with the exhaust manifold at the back?

Probably 9/10 V.A.G engines....

Ignore me, I was thinking of the weirdness when it came to the D-series and its CCW rotation, I thought the K was the special one, but it's the ones before it that were "weird".

The XU engines in the 205 Gti were similarly orientated, intake at the front exhaust out the back.
The pre K Honda lumps end up rotating the same way in relation to the chassis as they're effectively installed the other way around so the exhaust is at the front, but the gearbox then ends up on the right.
Bloody confusing!
