What would happen if I turned the motor clockwise?
12/19/05 at 11:55:58

In looking through some old posts, i realized that I've been following the Clymer manual and turning the motor the wrong way.

I have the motor out of the bike, and have torn it down, and am in the process of rebuilding it.

During the process, i've been turning the motor clockwise. Obviously, from this point on, i'll turn it the correct way (counterclockwise).

But, my question is, did I do any damage?

Don't worry ! If it was so easy to hurt the engine how would it survive in my hands?

I know it works this way on a little Honda single because as the T-shirt says, "been there, done that". Max
