I have a Slick 4371 mag that I just had IRAN'd and need to install on my O-320-E3D. I am fairly comfortable with the procedure to set the timing pin and install the mag, but wanted to confirm the direction to rotate the gear while installing the timing pin. It is marked for L rotation.
I understand I need to turn the shaft against the direction of normal rotation due to the impulse coupling, but am not sure which which direction that is, and it's hard to tell which side of the mag people are looking at when they saw CW or CCW.
In essence, my question is, if I am looking at the front end of the mag (the shaft and gear), which direction should I rotate the SHAFT, while installing the timing pin in the mag?
I hope this makes sense, thanks for the help!
