motor Q:
No recent marine engine has been built with a reverse rotation. I'm pretty
certain that no V6 reverse rotation was ever built. And I think it's safe to assume he will be transfering the ignition, carb, alt, and other bolt on accessories form the cracked marine engine.

motor Q:
If you're in fresh water don't worry about it. If you're in salt water you
should know that marine engines do actually have stainless steel head gaskets instead of regular ones. I guess I'd be a bit on the fence. You flush it after use in salt water and it probably won't matter. If you're leaving it in salt water in a slip then you probably should replace the head gaskets. If you do that then I'd just go ahead and get a full marine gasket set and change the cam too since the ss head gaskets are a big piece of the cost of a marine gasket set.

Course, I had FWC on all those I did use them on. Would not work for salt with raw water cooling. Dan |

He is talking about a reverse rotation cam. Not a reverse rotation motor. Will not matter either way. The new engine will have the correct rotation cam for the present setup. If he wants to change the cam, all he has to do is if it is a reverse rotation is to swap the gear drive also. |

motor Q:
Pay attention. No v6s were configured as reverse rotation.
