>Where is the front of the engine located in a side winder ?------ >(Tornado, Eldorado, etc.) With transverse engines there's no front end, but a front SIDE. The pulley end in such cases is the pulley end, not the "front". Saying anything else is just nonsense. > The front is where the hamonic balancer or front pulley is >located---always. No way. Front is front. Rear is not rear. The two cannot be the same (calling the pulley end of a rear-engined vehicle "front" is an oxymoron). Front end of engine is that closest to headlights, no matter whether it has a pulley or flywheel attached. Such usage is NOT defined by popular opinion. Terry, you missed your dose of Z-B. |
