SECTION 13 - FE 290 ENGINE
GENERAL INFORMATION
With the incorporation of the unitized transaxle on 1997 vehicles, engine rotation changed from counterclock-
wise to clockwise. Although the change in engine rotation does not change service procedures in the Mainte-
nance and Service Manual, a number of engine parts were changed. So that the parts for clockwise rotation
engines will not be confused with parts for counterclockwise engines, clockwise rotation parts have been
marked as described below. These descriptions and illustrations do not correspond with descriptions and
illustrations in the Maintenance and Service Manual:
Fan Housing:
The baffle plate inside the fan housing for a clockwise engine is located on the right side of the inside surface
of the housing as shown below.
Fan:
The fan for a clockwise engine is grey in color and marked with an arrow pointing counterclockwise as
shown on page 136 (fan for counterclockwise engine is black and marked with an arrow pointing clockwise).
Flywheel:
The flywheel for a clockwise engine is marked with an arrow pointing counterclockwise and also with the
number MF3481, as shown on page 136.
• ENGINE ROTATION (CLOCKWISE OR COUNTERCLOCKWISE) IS AS VIEWED FROM THE
CLUTCH SIDE OF THE ENGINE.
