Get me straight please. Is that clockwise as you look at the balancer from the front of the car or does the crank rotate clockwise (toward the passenger side) within the block?

All shaft rotations CW or CC are determind by looking at the end of the shaft or "balancer," in this case CW will turn right and CC will turn left. To sumise anything turning off the rib surface of the belt is turning CW and anything turning off the smooth surface of the belt is turning CC.
