I got my vector engine now on the table. But i am not sure in which direction can i rotate the engine?
Tell me for example when i am watching it from timing chain side can i rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Rotate it towards the intake side on the cylinder head. If you rotate it towards the exhaust you run the risk of the cam chain jumping.

Do you mean towards the intake side when crowbar handle is towards up or down because that makes a lot of difference.Rotate it towards the intake side on the cylinder head. If you rotate it towards the exhaust you run the risk of the cam chain jumping.

Well, if you are familiar with clocks and such, how about as you are facing the primary, you want to turn it counter-clockwise. Does that help?

Start the wrench at 12 and always go towards the intake side of the motor, doesn't matter what side of the engine you are on.
