West bend question

#1
Hello all.
I have a simplex dual engine kart that I’ll need a left and a right west bend 580 engine for.

Are the engines the same (left and right) mechanically?
What differentiates a left from a right?
Can a 580 engine be changed from one rotation to the other?

Thanks,
Rob

To change RH to LH you will need a new crank, flywheel and nut, starter cup, recoil, points and ignition coil, everything else is the same. I don't think I missed anything but if I did, someone else will probably chime in.
