Has anyone used opposite rotation for their engine? If so, what issues beyond
the oil/coolant pumps did you have to deal with?

The exhaust would become the intake and the intake would become the exhaust.
The spark plug holes are sized and positioned according to corrct rotation 
of the engine. The unsymetrical water jacket passages are designed to 
deal with cooling the engine when it is rotating in the proper direction.

Never the less I think Royce is still working on it :)
