What direction does the crank shaft rotate on a Stovebolt six when it is running? I would be looking at it from the front of the engine and watching the harmonic balancer spin. The motor is on an engine stand right now so if I want to spin it by hand and have it spinning in the right direction I need to know.......

CW or CCW ?

Thanks.

Looking at from the front it would be CW.
