Might have been in the 30's but not sure. Kind of died slowly. Will find out sometime

Funny that came up, I always assumed the same for water pumps because of the directional vanes. Just the other day I was checking out boat parts and saw this note on a Mercruiser water pump:
I guess some water pumps work equally well in both directions.
Fits GM V6 & V8 small block engines with steel and/or composite timing cover and made for standard rotation and reverse rotation engines (bi-directional).

Good evening guys.
Reverse has been around for a long time. All 2 strokes now reverse the engine, 4 strokes is done with gears.
Nothing much, tensioner crapped out in the chaincase and destroyed a bunch of stuff.
Installed a TKI belt drive kit and low altitude domes.
Beer and more beer???
