By changing the way it rotates, Honda can sell engines as well as transmissions to other car manufacturers. So since S2000's four-cylinder and the Ohio-built V6, all Honda engines rotate clock-wise with respect to viewing it from the timing belt.

Also, the exhaust has better flow and you have more room to put a catalytic converter closer to the manifold.
damn, for course, it well known that honda engine rotate the different direction... :roll:
cheers Hadean, good explaination!
