Can't say I understand.

On these older Civics, the engine spins backwards compared with most other engines. The engine is transverse, on the driver side of the bay, and the exhaust comes down in front of the engine and runs under the oil pan. I'm sure there were packaging advantages when you had a carburetor and filter on top of the intake, but to me it made no sense in 2005 when Honda was still selling that engine series.
