Here's a breakdown of what that means:
* Firing Order: This indicates the sequence in which the cylinders fire. So, cylinder #1 fires first, then #5, then #4, and so on.
* Rotation: The engine's rotation is counter-clockwise when viewed from the front of the engine.
To understand the firing order, here's a visual aid:
Imagine the engine cylinders numbered 1-8, starting from the front left side and going to the front right side. Then, you would follow the order of firing: 1, 5, 4, 2, 6, 3, 7, 8.
Important Notes:
* Always consult the owner's manual or a reliable repair manual specific to your vehicle year and engine for accurate information.
* It's crucial to get this information correct, as incorrect firing order can lead to engine damage.
* Make sure you understand the implications of working on your engine and follow safety precautions.
If you're unsure about anything related to your engine, it's best to consult a qualified mechanic.
