"Once you are done with that cylinder, you will need to rotate the cam gears another 90 degrees (1/4 turn) to get to cylinder #3. You can do this by rotating the drive wheel in the "forward" direction (normal forward rotation), or by turning the crankshaft clockwise for the S2000 or counterclockwise for the Prelude (the Prelude's H22A engine rotation is backwards from the S2000's F20C)."

"The S2000 powerplant boasts 215 hp in normally aspirated trim, which is already considered an engineering marvel. Its 153 lb-ft of torque is plenty enough to propel the car down the 1320 or, even better, make it through the twisties in record time. Unlike the Honda sport compacts that rely on a counterclockwise-spun motor, the S2000 has an inline four that spins in the conventional clockwise direction, and it's able to turn in a 9500-rpm redline in its OEM state. So, just how much power can be extracted from the already-powerful inline four? We are about to find out."

"?The K20A DOHC i-VTEC engine is the first of Honda's new-generation inline four-cylinder engines. It is the manufacturer's first transversely mounted I4 that turns clockwise with the transaxle placed inline on the left side of the engine/vehicle. All other Honda transverse fours to date have turned counterclockwise, with the transmission on the right. This oddity was the legacy of the SOHC inline two-cylinder engine designed by engineering prodigy Nobuhiko Kawamoto, who years later ascended to the presidency of the company. The pint-size twin 0.360-L engine powered the Life light car of the early '70s. To provide enough foot space for the driver, the engine was pushed to the left and made to turn counterclockwise so that it could drive the inline transaxle without an extra gearset. The first-generation Civic engine, a 1.2-L unit, was essentially two Life engines coupled together. The unconventional design wisdom stuck and has since been the hallmark of all Honda I4s. All Honda V6s, which are of more recent designs, rotate clockwise."

"No its not a souped up Prelude. Its an entirely new design not based on any previous Honda design. The engine was the first Honda engine to spin Clockwise (All honda engines previously spun CCW) and its the first Honda convertable since the S series (S300, S500, S800) in the mid 1960's from Honda. The S2000 is Honda's 50th anniversary car and a tribute to their F1 racing technology. The S2000 is basically an F1 car that is convertable, holds 2 people, meets crash tests and runs on pump gas. It has the highest redline of any car in production currently (9000 RPM redline)...its a 2 liter, 4 cylinder that pumps out 240 HP without forced induction (meaning no super charger or turbo charger). Its one hell of an engine in one hell of a package!"

 

exactly. this is how i thought of the question, so it looks im correct then

didn't that happen to jerry van dykes mother?
