Javier: It sounds like you bought one of those early Honda engines that rotates in the opposite direction as most other engines. This was a problem back in the days when guys where attachine Corvair engines to their Baja Bugs. These engines also rotate "backwards". There were 3 solutions to this problem. 1) flip the ring gear in the tranny to the opposite side. 2) Install the transmission upside down (not very practical 3) rebuild the engine with an aftermarket cam and gears to allow it to run in the opposite direction. I can't really tell you what will work best in your application. Charles === Volkswagen Owners!
