Motor rotation question?

Question

What way does a motor rotate clockwise or counterclockwise? Also does it matter the type of motor? If so what way would a kl03 (probe) motor rotate?

Answer 1

the motor rotates clockwise. The motor from Mazdas MX-6 is used in all Probes.

Answer 2

most engines do rotate clock wise but from i have heard and seen dodge made an engine that spun the other direction, i cannot give you an engine size or any information like that. honda/accura v6s turn the opposite direction that the 4 cylinders do, or that is what i understand.  

Answer 3

counterclockwise (from the drivers seat)

Answer 4

As viewed from the front, most automobile engines rotate clockwise. I first learned that from my first car, a '53 MG. I regularly had to hand crank it when I was too cheap to replace a shot battery. Later experience with a wide range of American cars has confirmed this impression. Don't know which way a Probe engine rotates but I'd give 10 to 1 odds that it also is clockwise.

Answer 5

HI

It should be clockwise. If your asking in order to do the firing order the it would be best to pop the cap off the distributor and crank the motor a little and watch it as some times even tho the motor goes clockwise the distributor can turn counterclockwise.

good luck
