2. #2 Cylinder: Located next to #1, still on the driver's side.
3. #3 Cylinder: Located next to #2, on the driver's side.
4. #4 Cylinder: Located next to #3, on the driver's side.
5. #5 Cylinder: Located on the passenger side, directly across from #4.
6. #6 Cylinder: Located on the passenger side, directly across from #3.
7. #7 Cylinder: Located on the passenger side, directly across from #2.
8. #8 Cylinder: Located on the passenger side, directly across from #1.
