Wow ... didn't realize, but should have ... the Honda 1.7 (D17A1) runs counterclockwise! I should have realized since the "front" of the engine is on the left side of the car. All of the timing belts I've done on Honda engines have always been on the right side of the car. Great fun.
Just struck me as funny because almost every engine I've ever worked on spins clockwise. Interesting.

Not completely done with the Honda, but I was able to start it to verify the belt was installed correctly. I still need to put the radiator back in and install the fans. Then get the coolant in and bled. We'll see if there's any difference in the cooling of the thing. I don't think the water pump had been changed when the belt was changed last ... and I don't think the belt itself had been changed as the previous owner stated it had been.
