It isn't clear which part of the engine should be called the front. Most likely the front of the engine would be side of the engine at the front of the vehicle.
A transverse engine is mounted so that its crankshaft is perpendicular to the length of the vehicle. This is how most engines are mounted today.
A longitudinal engine mounting has the crankshaft in the same direction as the length of the vehicle. This used to be the most popular way to mount engines as many older engines were too long to properly fit the other way.

Open the Hood and support it with the support rod. The Spark Plugs are located directly in front of you on the front (*or left side*) of the engine just below the Cam cover and above the Exhaust Manifold. *Front wheel drive vehicles usually have the Engine turned to the right, therefore the Front of the Engine faces the Passenger side Fender. The Spark Plugs are numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4 from YOUR left to YOUR right when facing the Engine from the front of the Vehicle. The Timing is usually 1-3-2-4.
