GS> Jean: I think you will find a new crankshaft is needed when the motor
GS> is turning counter-clockwise, the timing lobes and the crankshaft
The crankshaft usually doesn't matter. However, a different camshaft
is required. Often, a different rear main seal is needed. A
different distributor should be used to keep wear on the point
blocks to a minimum. Finally, a reverse-rotation or bi-directional
water pump will be needed.
GS> throws would all be out! A mechanical fuel pump would operate in
GS> reverse.
No, the fuel pump operates normally, no matter which way the
crank is turning, unless it is belt or gear driven.
... Reasons to charter: To play with all the fancy equipment on the boat..
