you will for sure bend the valves with it like that.. if htey arent already bent.
nothing has to be "redone" just pop em out and turn em around.. you can probably do it w/o pulling the motor out of the car.
the arrow always points towards the front of the motor

Ya. We'll gus these so called machine shop pros n al there experence could read the arrow or ever think. Think I could just turn them around. With the motor being blanced itl b fine right there staying n the same order.in the block. My thought was un bolt the rod end caps twist it around n re bolt it bak toght. Or is that a stupid ass idea. I'm going to the machin shop whn I'm out of work today n c what's up.I'll let u guys no what they say

Heys. We'll. I talked to the machine shop. He said it was hid fault (duh) n they fix it. Wantd me to bring the block. So finaly we agreed I bring the car over with no head or oil pan they pul the pist n turn them n buy new gaskets.
I thought they we're gona b dicks about it. But get this he says there's a B next to the arow n they thought that meant bak n arow pointing bak lmao. Not evn think to ask or look up the motor of whts front or bak. Or anything he said he didn't know anything of this motor. He just figured it was right. Owell. Its gona b fixd soon just wantd to let u guys know
