That is interesting. Please tell me that the rotation
for the water pump for the 3rd generation is oppisite that for the second
generation. I am using a simple belt scheme (everything turning the same
direction). But in your drawing the water pump is turning in the
oppisite direction. Yet I don't remember ever discussing that the pump
rotation direction was different on the 3rd generation engines.

Dave, The rotation for the water pump on the 3rd
generation IS opposite that for a second generation or the first generation
for that matter. Given the geometry of the layout and belt angles, it
looks like they had to run it off the "back" of the serpentine
belt.
