[Shotimes] Timing Belt/Timing chain

[Erik Balser]

You are thinking of the engine as you look at it.  The engine is mounted
sideways, so where the timing belt is, that's the "front" of the engine and
the timing chains at the end of the cams would be at the "rear" of the
engine.  Notice how you refer to the valve covers (LH and RH)  refered to as
left hand side and right hand side, not front and rear.  So I guess the
"front" of the engine depends on how technical you want to get.
