Here's why:
* Engine Orientation: The way the engine is mounted (front-rear, left-right) and the direction of the crankshaft rotation can affect the cylinder numbering.
* Manufacturer Variations: International Harvester (and later Navistar) engines might have had slightly different cylinder numbering conventions over the years, even with the same displacement.
To figure out where cylinder #2 is, you'll need:
1. The specific engine model: Is it a 345 IHC V8, a 345 DT466, or something else?
2. A diagram or service manual: These documents will show the cylinder numbering system for your specific engine.
Here are some resources to find the information you need:
* Your owner's manual or service manual: This is the most reliable source.
* Online resources: Search for "345 International V8 cylinder numbering" or "345 [Engine Model] cylinder location" online.
* International/Navistar dealer or mechanic: A professional can help you locate this information.
Remember, it's extremely important to accurately identify the cylinder location for any maintenance or repair work. Misidentification could lead to damage or even injury.
