| RE: Oposite Rotation FE Question |

| yes, i have seen these cranks, i talked to a couple people about running the crank in the opposiate direction of the grooves. its just a chance situation it can be run pushing the oil out no problem with a neoprene seal. i would run the engine on a test stand first to be sure it doesnt leak and make sure they install the seal correctly or it will leak anyways. Machine shops can also remove the grooves. I believe these grooves were designed for the rope seals, because they will always leak after a few 1000 miles or 50 hr of use. by the way standard recreational outboard boats see about 100 hrs per year, the Chris craft 427's would see much less than this i would think probably only 30-40 hours a year. the larger the yacht the more it cost to operate it. |
