You would have thought so but....... Each individual engine of the Chrysler Multibank engine rotates anti clockwise but they still use the standard crank dog which would suggest they rotate the other way! Obviously, they simply used the standard dog to hold the damper hub on as you would be hard pushed to turn the engine over on a hand crank.....

I know it is a special case but I thought worth mentioning. It doesn't alter the validity of Lynns point though!

I can imagine a small panic for a moment ! However it should be easy enough to look at the power train and work out which way each shaft turns starting with the drive sprockets and working back to the clutch. There would have been no good reason to have the engine turning the wrong way as the bevel gear set could easily have been designed either way round so I expect that they would have used a standard engine. But it is British !
