I have never seen one of those engines and I have a very basic question - Which side are the inlet and exhaust manifolds on?

 

if i'm reading this correctly... the intake manifold sits closest to the firewall.. and the exhaust manifold comes off the front and tucks under...

 

Thanks, but I need to know which side of the engine, not the engine bay.

 

intake is on the back side, exhaust is closest to the radiator. so if you're looking at the valve cover with the word honda right side up the exhaust is closest to you.

 

Okay, so which way does the engine face?
(Ie, is the flywheel on the left or right as you look from the front of the car into the engine bay)

 

Number one is on the drivers side honda made it the ''right'' way

the fly wheel is closer to the left if you where facing the driver

 

Thanks!
After working what side was what (why you lot have to drive on the wrong side of the road I'll never know ) it seems that the inlet is on the left side of the engine and the exhaust on the right.
That's all I need, and that's what I was hoping they weren't - Looks like we can't use that engine then ...

 

no,

looking at number one cylinder closest to you, intake is on the right, exhaust is on the left...

t..

 

but they do run opposite way round than most FWD's

t..

 

does that help??

 

The pic tells me everything, thanks.
The exhaust and inlet are on the wrong side, so I can't use the engine unfortunately.
Looks like the SR16DE-VVL is going to be the one for my car.
