Fight the urge to apply common sense. It's like... You watch the water go down the shower drain in clockwise pattern your whole life then you go to say... Guam. Something's not right and you're not sure what it is.


Weeks later, you wake in a cold sweat. For some reason you're having vivid dreams of the shower water swirling down the drain in a counter-clockwise fashion.


Is it real???

Ah yes... I recall something about the TSB on that but thought it was only for ASSEMBLED cars. I should have thought that it applied to just the motors themselves.

Perhaps just turning the whole motor upside down and swapping over to a dry sump.

No need for a dry sump, you won't find powdered oil anyway.

Instead of running it upside down, reverse thread your sparkplugs and install new ones. Be sure to polish the treads with cheese cloth once your done. Regular cloth may damage the threads and you will loose precious reverse-rotation pressure and may cause the blades to eventually turn the wrong way.

Sweet! Thanks for the tip!

My next question (same topic)...

Normally when I tool around in the garage doing various mods and upgrades, I drink beer. Occationally I even drink Fosters. The trouble is that I'm accustomed to popping the top and drinking through the hole manufactured in the can. I feel like this will probably screw me up when reverse thread polishing of the sparkplugs and associated mounting locations. That being said.... (since it seems you have had experience with this) Should I tune the cans over and drink from the bottom? Having done that, I'm pretty sure that the beer can pyramid should start from the ceiling. The question remains about how tall that pyramid needs to be before work must stop. From the floor, it's easy. At waist high, you're done.


And before some know-it-all says it... Just swapping spark plug wires from end to end doesn't work... OF COURSE we tried that first.

A man on corral told me when doing this swap if you use the wiring harness from a boeing 747 hooked up to a 1989 prelude door speaker and limited edition tipper the clapping monkey with a 9v battery mod for increase clapping rate that the motor will run backwards as long as your cub cadet is the one with the the square peg belt. Also, if you ran this set up, your intake charge temps would probably be lower and you would have a increased spark. And you will be able to drink/stack the beer as prior to the swap. Make sure when stacking the beer you use the protocol established by the most interesting man in the world. As for the spark plug swap, that can work with a good chip tune is what hondatech told me when doing a lsx swap. so mabye
