Clockwise if you are facing the front of the damper/balancer, standing in front of the car.

Like they said. Pretty much all engines spin that way except Hondas.

There is a retired tug-boat around here with the engine exposed with plexiglass so you can see the internal parts. It has a double lobe camshaft, to put it in reverse they stop the engine, switch to the other lobes and run the engine backwards.

Hope that helps answer your question about the 928.

That is completely ridiculous! I'd love to see it.
