The side of the engine that has cylinder number 1 is then "bank 1".See "Related Questions" below for more
Passenger side, front of engine.
if it is a 4 cylinder the number one is the first cylinder behind the belts and all that stuff. If it is a v6 the number 1 cylinder is the first cylinder behind the belts on the bank closest to the front of the car.
Many Ford V-8's number 1 cylinder would be located on the passenger side bank most forward cylinder. It would be helpful to know which engine you have to be sure.
number one cylinder is always the right side front ie. passenger side closest to the radiator
1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8 (Number 1 cylinder on right bank, nearest radiator)
On modern ford engines the number 1 cylinder is rather easy to locate. V-style engines are broken into 2 banks, Bank 1 and Bank 2. For example on a V6, Bank 1 will have cylinder 1,2, & 3 while Bank 2 will have cylinder 4,5, & 6. When facing the front of the engine Bank 1 will be slightly closer to you than Bank 2. However, the easiest way to determine cylinder #1 is to imagine yourself at the back of the engine (note: on transverse mounted engines the front of the motor is not facing you while standing in front of the vehicle but actually to one side. Look for the pulley and drive belts as that generally denotes the front of the engine.). From the rear of the motor Bank 1 is always the right hand bank on newer fords. Therefore cylinder # 1 will be on the most forward cylinder on the right side of the motor as viewed from the rear of it.
cylinder #1 is the first cylinder from the passenger's side on the rear bank.
