crank rotation

[Riptide]

Gentlemen if I am standing in front of the car facing it. Which direction does the crank rotate?

I'm using a j style O2 defouler and don't have much clearance above it on the passenger side. Concerned about condensation collecting in the defouler if I can't keep it facing upwards much.

all of ours are clockwise iirc

Ah so passenger side will lift up. Shoot. Might be an issue depending on how much it spins up on that side.

No. The crankshaft rotates clockwise, so the torque reaction has to go the other way.

Think about it . . . which front corner of a powerful car running DR's or better lifts more on launch? The chassis roll here is following the way the torque reaction is trying to move everything. Has to.
