Reverse direction engine re-build.
#1
Hi
My idea for a jet boat is to mount a rotary engine on top of the jet unit and drive through a Gates Belts and Pully system. I will need a counter rotating engine.
Can the end plates be swapped when rebuilding the engine?
Thank you for your knowledge.

Turn the engine around and drive from the other end. Sandwich a plate between the engine and pan to support a bearing ahead of the front pulley. So the crank nose is not placed in bending.
Piece of cake.

Haven't the airplane people done this sort of thing? I thought you could just turn the engine around like Lynn mentioned. I'm no expert and have no experience with this, I just remember reading about it.
