I am rebuilding my 91 non-turbo engine and want to know what the rotation direction is for the engine so that I install the new oil seals, etc. correctly. Please reference the viewing direction. Thanks!!

Looking at the front of the engine, the engine rotates clockwise.
The FSM covers this though.

i always stamp the rear of each rotor during removal so they go in the same location as removed from(swapping rotor locations with used bearings for example causes them to wear even faster on different locations on the bearings and the apex seal slots will wear on the opposite face opening the seal slot to a V shape wearing out the rotors quicker).
from there knowing which side of the rotor is front and rear...
at the rear of each rotor the oil seal springs should lock into the rotor when twisting them clockwise. the front of the rotors are reversed.
