ENGINE CYLINDERS PROSITION LOCATION

[mysweetx5]

This method remains confusing for many people???
It appeared to be different on some graphics, here's how I found it somewhere else:

Most Common
In the most common method for cylinder numbering of a V8 engine, when facing the engine from the front of the car, the cylinder on your actual right side and closest to you is the number one cylinder. Then jumping to your actual left side, the closest cylinder to you is the number two cylinder. This back and forth counting continues in this pattern for all eight cylinders. In effect, all odd-numbered cylinders are on your actual right side, while all the even numbers are on your left side.
