is it a right or left?
 

I have a 2000 protege and i need to know if the crankshaft pulley bolt is a left or right handed thread

its always the oposite way that the crackshaft pulley spins just take the belt off start it up and watch to see what way it spins you can run the motor like that for about 30 sec and it will be fine but just run it long enough to check don't test my theory lol
