The reason Honda made engines rotate counterclockwise — which goes against the normal automotive engine-builder’s standard — was to simplify the internal mechanics of its front-wheel drive transmissions.
What direction does an engine normally rotate?
Most automobile engines rotate clockwise looking at the front of the engine. The front of the engine is the end that you can usually see if it isn’t all covered up with shrouds and guards, where all the belts and pulleys are.

You can determine shaft end perspective by simply holding your motor up in front of you and pointing the shaft at you. If the shaft is pointing at you and rotates to the right, your motor is clockwise shaft end, or CWSE. If the shaft rotates to the left, your motor is counterclockwise shaft end, or CCWSE.

Do Honda engines spin backwards?
The reason Honda made engines rotate counterclockwise — which goes against the normal automotive engine-builder’s standard — was to simplify the internal mechanics of its front-wheel drive transmissions.
Why does an anticlockwise engine rotate?
Motor fans can be quite heavy and can rotate quite fast. When they do, they produce a huge angular momentum, which can make steering difficult. Using two fans pitched in opposite directions allows you to have both fans push air the same direction, and rotate in opposite directions.
