pieces. A crank triggered ignition. The prop would turn the right way

around

with Tracy's 2.17 reduction, so the prop choices might be

bigger and the "P"

factor would be what you are used to.

Lynn, and group,
 While it wasn't his greatest success Everett Hatch built a reverse

rotation engine. It is much easier if you run peripheral ports. I believe
Everett did this to get "correct" rotation as well. Alan Tolle said this
engine was a real odd ball. It was plugs up as well as reverse rotation! I
agree with Paul though if you run it backward the water channels in the
housings will be all wrong. Bill jepson

To R S Bruner and group:

Could a PSRU that provided reverse rotation be used instead of trying to
revearse the whole engine?  Seems to be a much easier approch. For example,
meshing gears vs chain/belt drive, which give opposite output rotations with
the same input rotation.
