i got a question for you guys....
i have a 89 std hatch with a dohc zc ...i just installed this motor and got everything wired up.
i wanted to know which way your engines spins while starting/running...right now my engine is wanting to crank counterclockwise while standing at the driver side fender. im not sure if thats the right way but im just trying to diagnose why it wont start and im tryin to think of every possible scenario.
thanks

Yes, they turn counterclock wise if you are looking at it from the driver's side....

 

The Crankshaft Pulley should spin the same way as the wheels would if the car was going foward.

 

the engine spins counterclowise (looking at the crank pulley)

 

Yeah. Honda had to be the odd one by going against what most manufactures do.
