| Oposite Rotation FE Question |
| By John - 01/18/2002 8:52:32 PM; IP 12.75.136.133 |
I am rebuiling, or should I say, building a 390 Ford for marine use. The engine needs to be oposite rotation. My old engine was destroyed by a rod that snapped at the wrist pin, punched the block, cam,and broke the crank (sad day).
Anyway, I noticed that the only real difference in the crankshaft that made it 'oposite rotation' was at the rear seal where there were raised diagonal lines at a 45 deg angle around the circumfrence, I would assume to push any oil back into the engine. Is this a feature that any good machine shop can reproduce on a standard crank to enable it for oposite rotation or do I need to search the world for an original crank. Good news is that I found an NOS reverse camshaft. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. |
