Stupid Question: What direction does the engine turn?

[ib2loud]

About to start a timing belt change and unsure if the crank turns clockwise or anti-clockwise if you're looking directly at the pulley.

I know it's a stupid question but Google didn't find the answer for me or I'm just blind.

Don't take this as fact but I believe you only turn cranks clockwise. Look up how to find top dead center, that might have your answer

Clockwise from front.

Some Hondas run reverse rotation.

Facing the front of the car, the crank turns clockwise.

I thought it was clockwise facing the nut on the crank

Thanks. I was thinking clockwise but I wanted to be certain.

Thanks. I was thinking clockwise but I wanted to be certain.

Isn't the 1.4 a timing chain??

I have a 1.8
