No such thing as a silly question, just some silly answers! A serious answer though, is that you have a left hand engine. The compressor doesn't care which way its turned, and according to a GM owner, "only the crank turns the opposite diection." G |

George is right an idler gear is switched to the right side for a right hand engine. the valve train always turns in the same direction. |

What about the water pump and fuel pump? Seem to recall mention of needing the correct rotation pumps. T/F. Don 4107 |
